Natural Science Division
Mathematics
The Mathematics department offers the degrees of Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics Education and Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. It also offers a Mathematics Minor and an Applied Mathematics Minor. For information about a related Computer Science minor or Computer Science / Mathematics major, visit the web site for the Computer Science Department.Please visit the Math department Home Page for more information on events and opportunities available through the math department.
The courses in mathematics are designed to:
- Provide an opportunity for liberal arts students to explore the nature of mathematics.
- Provide specialized training for various scientists who will use mathematicsas a tool.
- Prepare the mathematics major for employment in industry, teaching, or admission to graduate school.
- Provide information about modern mathematics as a dynamic and creative field with applications in business and in the physical, biological, and social sciences.
Course Requirements
Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics Education
A student must earn a grade of C- or better in any courses that are prerequisites for mathematics courses. A student may not enroll in a mathematics course that is a prerequisite for one for which credit has already been received.
In order to earn a California teaching credential, students will be required to pass the CSET Single-Subject Mathematics Exam and complete their student teaching requirement (EDUC 566, EDUC 581, EDUC 582). Students should refer to the Teacher Education Professional Sequence Requirements listed in the Humanities and Teacher Education Division section for further information.
Bachelor of Science in Mathematics
To enroll in any mathematics or computer science course which lists prerequisite courses, a student must earn a grade of “C-” or better in all the prerequisites.
A student may not enroll in a mathematics course that is a prerequisite for one which credit has already been received.
Freshman-Year Program
The mathematics major (B.A. or B.S.) should enroll in the general education program and include MATH 110, MATH 210, and MATH 211 in the freshman year.
International Programs
Mathematics students wishing to participate in the international programs are advised to do so during the summer term.
