Sophister Years (Group III)
In the Junior Sophister year Mathematics students take 5 group III courses or the two group II courses they did not take in the Senior Freshman year together with 4 group III courses. A BC (Broad Curriculum) course may be substituted for a group II course. Students must register for BC courses - see the BC website for details. 3D4 may be substituted for a group II course.
In the Senior Sophister year, students take 5 group III courses.
