For Classes 2003 - 2005 (36 Credits):

For Class of 2006 and later (39 Credits):

It is strongly recommended that mathematics majors fulfill their lab science core requirement by taking PHSC 0125-Physics I.  This should be taken after completing MATH 0106-Calculus II.

It is strongly recommended that students choose MATH 0340-Mathematical Statistics as one of their 0300-level courses, and to take this course immediately after MATH 0106-Calculus II (in the semester between Calculus II and Calculus III).

At most 6 credits of any combination of Math 360 & Math 399 can count towards the major.

Beginning mathematics majors should follow one of the following tracks:

Requirements for Mathematics Minors (18 credits)

The minor in mathematics consists of 18 hours of mathematics courses including:

• MATH 0105 Calculus I (4 Credits)
• MATH 0106 Calculus II (4 Credits)

Any 200-level or 300-level mathematics course can count towards the minor.

At most two (2) additional 100-level mathematics courses can count towards the minor.

CAIS 0351-Theory of Computation can count towards the minor.

Requirements for Licensure as a Teacher of Mathematics (5 – 8,  8 – 12)

A minimum grade point average of 2.8 is required for practicum placement:

All students who are seeking middle or secondary licensure need to register for the Professional Sequence with the Education Department, 211 Parenzo Hall.
