Abstract
Scheduling of the B.S. Mathematics (BSM) curriculum program was done by applying the well known Program/Performance Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) and Critical Path Method (CPM). Network diagram was constructed with each subject treated as activity. With the assigned durations, critical courses were identified through the computations of the earliest and latest start time, earliest and latest finish time, total and free floats. Heuristic procedures helped in breaking equal claim between courses during scheduling. Computations of standard deviations, expected elapsed times, earliest expected and latest allowable dates of each critical path were performed to know the likelihood of finishing the BSM degree on time. Comparing the probabilities obtained between the proposed and existing schedule, the probability of finishing on time using the proposed schedule showed a recommendable result.
