An agreement between Clemson University and Erskine College will allow mathematics students at the Due West school to transfer to Clemson after three years and earn bachelor’s degrees from both schools in just two more years.

The program targets students interested in the actuarial science/financial mathematics emphasis area at Clemson, which is the most popular in the College of Science’s school of mathematical and statistical sciences, according to senior lecturer Mark Cawood.

Mathematics majors at Erskine would be able to transfer to Clemson after completing 93 hours of coursework. After one year in Clemson’s actuarial science/financial math program, they would receive a Bachelor of Arts in mathematics from Erskine. In one more year, they can graduate with a Bachelor of Science in mathematical sciences from Clemson, completing courses not available at Erskine...

The transition to Clemson should be easier for Erskine students because three of their professors earned math degrees at Clemson.
