are offered at the universities indicated: aerospace (UM); agricultural (UK, UM); biomedical and environmental (Vanderbilt); fire protection (UM); materials, mining (UK); and transportation (Vanderbilt). Descriptions of courses required at the University of Kentucky, the University of Maryland at College Park, Vanderbilt University, and Florida A & M University may be found in those universities' catalogues.

Students interested in engineering should note that, due to possible changes in the engineering accreditation standards and possible curriculum changes at the cooperating universities, some courses in the curriculum may change periodically. It is essential that students interested in engineering maintain close contact with the Pre-engineering advisors in the Division of Mathematics and Sciences.

Students majoring in the Applied Mathematics/Pre-Engineering option and taking their liberal studies through Whitney Young College may have to take additional courses at the engineering institution.

The requirements for the major in Pure Mathematics Option in addition to the University's Liberal Studies requirements (with MAT 131 in place of MAT 111 and PHY 211 instead of other natural science requirement) are: MAT 132, 210, 231, 232, 300, 401, 403, 411, and 460; MAT 402 or 404; and four additional Mathematics electives selected from MAT 307, 312, 315, 321, 326, 402, 404, 415, or 470. All required and elective courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better. On the basis of placement test scores, students may also be required to complete MAT 095, 099, 115, or 120. Majors in Mathematics are required to complete, as support courses, COS 108, PHY 211 and 212 with a grade of "C" or better in each of these courses. This curriculum requires a minimum of 46 semester credit hours of mathematics and a minimum total of 128 semester credit hours. The comprehensive exit assessment is completion of MAT 460 with a grade of "C" or better.

Mathematics with Secondary Teaching Certification Option A minimum of 128 semester credit hours is required for a major in Mathematics with high school teacher certification. In addition to the University’s Liberal Studies requirements (with MAT 131 and PHY 211 in place of MAT 111 and other natural science requirements), student must complete 37 semester credit hours of mathematics courses (MAT 131, 132, 210, 300, 231, 307, 321, 326, 401, 403, and 460); COS 108; 36 semester credit hours of professional education courses (EDU 202, 203, 302, 303, 304, 310, 411, 430, and 494); a 3 semester credit hour mathematics elective selected from MAT 232, 312, 315, 402, 404, 411, 415, and 470; 5 semester credit hours of Physics courses (PHY 211 (recommended) or 212) and 3 semester credit hours of free electives. The students must earn a grade of “C” or better in all the courses listed above with the exception of the free electives.

For specific requirements for teacher certification, interested students should consult the Catalogue section under the Division of Education and Human Services. Students seeking teacher certification should refer to the admission criteria and procedures included in the College of Professional Studies section of this Catalogue.

A minor in Mathematics requires the completion of 19 semester credit hours. Specific course requirements include MAT 131, 132, and 231; and the remaining 6 semester credit hours must be selected from 300/400 level Mathematics courses.

A minor in Physics requires the completion of at least 20 semester credit hours. Specific course requirements include PHY 211, 212, and 361. Students must choose two courses from PHY 311, 320, 340, and with department approval PHY 390.
