The Department of Mathematics offers both a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Arts degree at the undergraduate level. For each you can choose a general plan of study or a focus for future educators. All share a common core of courses (calculus, linear algebra, introduction to advanced mathematics, statistics, modern algebra, and analysis) that form the base of the degree. The different tracks offer courses geared toward preparing you for your chosen career.
This track offers the most flexibility and is appropriate for those who are either undecided about how they wish to use mathematics upon graduation or those who are also earning a B.S. in another field such as computer science, engineering, or physics.
This track is best suited for those preparing to teach mathematics at the secondary level in the public or private schools. Highly coordinated with the College of Education, this track concludes with student teaching and teaching certification.
This track is best suited for someone who likes mathematics and wants a degree in the field, but is perhaps studying another discipline as well so wants to minimize the number of hours and maximize the flexibility. This track requires a minor, so an individual majoring in say art, but loving mathematics can earn this degree counting art as the minor. Or perhaps a history major expects to do some mathematical analysis of historical events – then this is the perfect dual degree.
Here are the general requirements of each of the tracks. Please consult our catalog for more details about each track and their exact requirements or come over to the Mathematics Department (Lucas 200) to speak with a mathematics advisor.
