GRADUATE PROGRAMS

Master of Science in Education - Mathematics Teaching

Students majoring in mathematics are assigned an advisor from the tenured faculty of the department and are required to consult with this advisor before each registration period.

The Bachelor of Science degree is granted to those students who follow the prescribed program.
Students desiring a Bachelor of Arts must meet the foreign language requirements plus the requirements of the prescribed program.

NOTE: Throughout the remainder of this section and on subsequent course pages the reference to upper-level courses relates to courses numbered 250 or above, with the exception of Math 391 and Math 392 and the 600-level graduate courses.

The curriculum leading to a degree in mathematics is rooted in a foundation of calculus, mathematical logic, probability, linear algebra, abstract algebra and a study of the history of mathematics. The student's selection of electives from analysis, statistics, advanced calculus, discrete mathematics, differential equations, and other special topics allows for diversity of specialization. These topics introduce students to a broad range of mathematical concepts and ideas that challenge their intellectual skills. Experiences from several of these courses provide an entry view into the applicability and power of mathematics to a variety of problems.
