MATHEMATICS
MAJOR
Society is increasingly
dependent upon solving complex problems of a numerical, quantitative,
and statistical nature. These all require logical thought. The Mathematics
Department major is a solid introduction to all aspects of mathematics.
It helps students prepare for the exciting challenges of today and
tomorrow.
Many graduates have chosen
to be teachers in the public schools. Others have chosen graduate
study or careers in such fields as computer science, statistics,
engineering, business, biometrics, the actuarial sciences, and other
areas involving mathematics. Additionally, for those students who
are undecided about a career, a mathematics major proves an excellent
background in critical thinking and problem-solving.
TEACHER
EDUCATION
Those students seeking
certification to teach in a senior high school must complete all
the general requirements for the math major, while including the
following specific courses: Math 310Q, 325, and 342Q.
To obtain all the requirements
for teaching licensing, please contact the Department of Teacher
Education.
MATHEMATICS
MINORS
Minors are available
in mathematics and in probability and statistics. Requirements for
