Majors and Minors

Major in Mathematics (B.A.)

Students majoring in mathematics take a minimum of 13 courses (41 credits). Majors are expected to maintain a C average in all required courses, with no grade less than C- in any mathematics major core course.

Required courses:

  • Discrete Mathematics
  • Calculus III
  • Linear Algebra
  • Differential Equations
  • Analysis I and II
  • Geometry
  • Abstract Algebra
  • Statistical Theory I and II
  • Scientific Programming
  • Physics I and II

While Calculus I and II are not included in the major requirements, they or their equivalents are prerequisites for several required courses.

Double Major in Mathematics and Secondary Education (B.A.S.)

In preparation for teaching mathematics at the secondary level, students complete the courses required for a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, which are designed to meet the standards published by the Mathematical Association of America, and must also complete the requirements for secondary education.

Minor in Mathematics

Students completing a minor in mathematics take six courses (18 credits) in mathematical sciences in consultation with the department chair.
