Schools Mathematics Online @ University of Arkansas - Little Rock

AI Thread Summary
The University of Arkansas - Little Rock offers a regionally accredited online B.S. in Mathematics that includes a comprehensive curriculum designed to prepare students for graduate studies in mathematics and related sciences. The program features a range of courses, including calculus, linear algebra, discrete mathematics, and advanced calculus, totaling around 50 credit hours. Feedback on the program suggests it is comparable to other institutions, although some schools may not count introductory courses like College Algebra and Trigonometry towards their math major requirements. There is a query regarding the availability of a lower-level complex numbers course prior to Complex Analysis. Overall, the program appears rigorous and suitable for those willing to commit to online learning.

After months and months of research looking for a good mathematics degree online that's regionally accreditated, and I think I may have found a program that will set me up for grad school in mathematics and/or some other science. The program I found is at the University of Arkansas - Little Rock, which is a regionally accreditated school and a "legit" school according to the Department of Education. Anyways, I was hoping that some of y'all could take a look at the math requirements of the B.S. program:

MATH 1302 College Algebra
MATH 1451 Calculus I
MATH 1303 Trigonometry
MATH 1223 Introduction to Mathematics Software
MATH 1452 Calculus II
MATH 2453 Calculus III
MATH 2310 Discrete Mathematics
MATH 3322 Introduction to Differential Equations
MATH 3312 Linear Algebra
MATH 3310 Algebraic Structures I
STAT 3352 Applied Statistics I
MATH 4390 Senior Seminar
MATH 4303 Advanced Calculus I
MATH 4304 Advanced Calculus II
MATH 4302 Complex Analysis or MATH 4310 Algebraic Structures II
Upper-level Mathematics or Statistics course (3 hours)
Upper-level electives (12 hours)


Well, any feedback on the program at UALR would be greatly appreciated as I'd like to possibly enroll for the Spring 2009 or Summer 2009 semester if all goes well. Also, I understand that learning math entirely online will be a challenge, but I am willing to put in as much effort as required to earn my degree in math.

Thanks.

Looks commensurate to most of the schools around here.

Is there a "complex variables" or other lower level complex numbers course before the Complex Analysis?

Assuming 3-4 credit hours per course and beginning with Calc II as a freshman, you'll have up around 50 credit hours in Mathematics. I believe my alma mater (a private liberal arts college) required around 34 credit hours for a math major.

Most of the non-technical State schools where I'm from have you putting in around 40 hours minimum for a general Maths major.
 
Most colleges probably don't count "College Algebra" and "Trigonometry" as part of their math major requirements. Their degree programs begin with calculus, and it's assumed that students have studied algebra and trig in high school. So to compare the total number of hours at UALR with other schools, you should subtract (probably) six credit hours, assuming they use a semester system.
 
Cod, have you looked into the online math programs at the University of Illinois at Springfield?

thanks for arranging this aschedule
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
