and HON 221. Additional requirements are: MAT 132, 231, 232, 300, 307, 401, 403, 460, MAT 402 or 404; and any four upper-division mathematics courses approved by the mathematics faculty. 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 115, or MAT 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 total of 120 semester credit hours. The comprehensive exit assessment is completion of MAT 460 with a grade of “C” or better.
A total of 120 semester credit hours is required for a major in Mathematics Education, which leads to Teacher Certification in grades 8-12. In addition to the University's Liberal Studies requirements (with MAT 131 in place of MAT 111, PHY 211 in place of other natural science requirements) students must complete an additional 33 semester credit hours of mathematics and computer science courses (MAT 132, 231, 300, 307, 312, 321, 326, and 401, and COS 108 and 310); and 36 semester credit hours of professional education courses (EDU 202, 203, 302, 303, 304, 310, 411, 445 and 494).
To learn about the specific admission and course requirements of the Educator Preparation Program in Mathematics Education, interested students should consult the Catalogue section under the School of Education in the College of Professional Studies. Students maintain close contact with the Mathematics Education advisor in the Division of Mathematics and Sciences as well as the faculty in the School of Education.
A minor in Mathematics requires the completion of 19 semester credit hours. Specific course requirements include MAT 131, 132, 231; and the remaining 6 semester credit hours must be selected from upper-division mathematics courses approved by the mathematics faculty.
A minor in Physics requires the completion of at least 19 semester credit hours. Specific course requirements include: PHY 211 and PHY 212. With approval of mathematics/physics area faculty, students may choose any 300-level physics or closely related discipline courses to complete the minor.
