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
A student who completes a mathematics degree should be able to:
demonstrate an understanding of the knowledge and skills central to the discipline of mathematics.
demonstrate the ability to apply appropriate mathematical ideas to both abstract and real-world contexts.
demonstrate a willingness to serve by having participated in co-curricular activities that are central to the broader mathematical community.

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 520, EDUC 521, EDUC 530, EDUC 531). Students should refer to the Teacher Education Professional Sequence Requirements listed in the Humanities and Teacher Education Division section for further information.
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.
