Mathematical Sciences with Teacher Certification Bachelor of Science Degree Program
Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Sciences with Teacher Certification
The curriculum for a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematical Sciences with Teacher Certification consists of a minimum of 120 semester hours which must include at least 42 hours at the 3000 or 4000 level. Along with 43 semester hours of General Education requirements including Calculus I (4 hours), a minimum of 53 semester hours must be in Mathematics/Mathematics Education with at least 42 hours of these being at the 3000 or 4000 level. A psychology course and required courses from the College of Education take up 24 hours of the total degree hours.
The Mathematical Sciences with Teacher Certification core consists of a 12 hour calculus sequence, a semester in analysis, a semester in modern algebra, and courses in the areas of combinatorics, geometry, differential equations, linear algebra, mathematical software, probability and statistics, history of mathematics, and a senior project. Due to the tight prerequisite structure, each student choosing Mathematical Sciences as a major should consult a major advisor within the department. No Mathematics course in which a grade below C is earned will be counted towards meeting requirements for the Mathematics major core.
SUGGESTED FOUR YEAR PLAN:
Courses labeled with an asterisk (*) represent approved general education courses from the areas of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences. Such courses may be substituted with other courses from their respective areas of the approved general education course list found in the undergraduate catalog. Students seeking a degree in Mathematical Sciences with Teacher Certification should consult the Chair of the Department, Dr. Michael Reed, for guidance in developing a specific plan of matriculation.
