BELLA, just to make you aware of all of your options concerning a Math major.
Charter Oak also has a concentration in Mathematics available. The GRE Mathematics test will also apply towards this concentration. Charter Oak awards 24 credits for a score of 40% or higher on the test. This is a much easier standard to meet than Excelsior's 80% score to get the full 30 credits from them.
Their Math concentration requires 36 credits. This is straight from their catalog concerning how the Math requirements if you use the GRE Math exam:
"The GRE Subject Test in Mathematics, evaluated at 24 credits (15 lower, 9 upper), plus 12 credits beyond the freshman level to include at least 6 upper level credits which may be selected from such areas as analysis, Calculus-Based Probability and Statistics, Abstract or Modern Algebra, Topology, and Set Theory."
I'm nor sure exactly on how the credit breakdown would go. That being said, you'll notice you'll need 12 additional credits. 6 of those credits must be upper level math courses. You could probably take care of these by completing the ALEKS Math courses at
ALEKS -- Assessment and Learning, K-12, Higher Education, Automated Tutor, Math.
There has been recent discussion on the forums concerning these. I am specifically referring to their Business Statistics and 'Statistics for the Behavioural Sciences'. Business Statistics is recommended as 3 credits of upper-level Statistics. Stats for Behavioural Sciences is recommended as 3 credits of upper-level Math.
There are also ample ALEKS courses that may very well meet the other requirements for the 12 non-Freshman level math credits still needed for the concentration. I see relatively little difference between a Math major and a Math concentration, but thats just me.
I believe that ALEKS costs $20 a months for access to all of the courses at the same time. Sort of the same way IC works.
In any event, I though I'd point out this particular option for you. I'd highly consider this option over Excelsior.
