Programs

Mathematics Major

1. Thirty-six credits which must include:
   1. Mathematics 121, 122, 210, 223, 310, and 421 or 431.
   2. Twelve other upper-level Mathematics credits.
2. Two required cognate courses:
   1. Computer Science 120.
   2. A course, other than a Mathematics course, approved by the Department, with a Mathematics prerequisite numbered 113 or higher.
3. The senior comprehensive examination includes three parts: successful completion of the Major Field Test in Mathematics, submission of an approved writing sample and an approved oral presentation.
4. At least one statistics course is recommended.
5. Students interested in graduate school in mathematics should complete both Mathematics 421 and 431 and an honors project. Students interested in business and industrial careers should consider additional courses in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science and fields which apply mathematics in significant ways.

Mathematics Minor

Twenty-four credits which must include Mathematics 121, 122, 210 and at least two other upper-level Mathematics courses. (Mathematics 099, 101 and 202 do not count toward the Minor.)

Mathematics Secondary Teaching Major

Same as for the Mathematics major except that the program must include Mathematics 341, 411, and 421.

Mathematics Secondary Teaching Minor

Twenty-six or 28 credits in Mathematics that must include MTH 120, 121, 122, 223, 411; 117 or 310; and 116 or 341.

Mathematics Elementary Teaching Minor

Twenty-four credits which must include Mathematics 110; 116; 120; 113 or 121; and Computer Science 114, 117 or 120 and four additional credits at the MTH 110 level or above. (Mathematics 099, 101 and 202 do not count toward the Elementary Teaching Minor.)

Mathematical Sciences Major

Fifty-two credits which must include Mathematics 121, 122, 210, 223, 310, 336, 341, and 421 or 431; Computer Science 120 and 220, and 12 additional credits in upper-level Mathematics or Computer Science courses, at least four credits of which must be Computer Science. Courses which combine applications and theory are encouraged (e.g. Mathematics 211, 342, 391, 399 or 499; and Computer Science 240, 310, 420, 430, 440, or 499). The senior comprehensive examination includes three parts: successful completion of the Major Field Test in Mathematics, submission of an approved writing sample and an approved oral presentation.

Restrictions

The following combinations of double majors are not permitted: Mathematical Sciences and Mathematics; and Mathematical Sciences and Computer Science.

Four credits from MTH 110 or higher, with the exception of practicum or independent study courses, count towards the Distributive Requirements in the Natural Sciences — Mathematics/Computation.
