Objectives The Department of Mathematics offers a departmental major and minor, an Honors major, a major with an Applied Mathematics emphasis, and a teaching major and minor. In addition, many support courses are provided for the entire college. Career Opportunities Career opportunities for the student majoring in mathematics exist in many areas of industry (especially those utilizing computers), in government service, in the military and in teaching. The baccalaureate degree in mathematics is excellent preparation for those planning to enter graduate school in mathematics or other fields such as computer science, business or medicine. Students majoring in any of the natural sciences, social sciences, business, economics or technology would enhance their career opportunities by obtaining a strong background in mathematics. Prerequisites Since each course in mathematics requires a working knowledge of principles from prerequisite courses, students are required to earn a "C" grade in each prerequisite course before registering for the next course. Placement tests are required, prior to registration, of all students who have not completed the specified prerequisite courses from an accredited college with a "C" grade or better within the past year. Students are admitted to Mathematics 105 on the basis of their performance on the ACT entrance tests and their high school background. Further placement in mathematics 106, 107, or 211 is possible by scoring sufficiently high on the level II ACT mathematics test. Other tests are available for credit and/or higher placement for qualified students. Arrangements to take the examinations must be made with the college testing bureau located in the Student Personnel Center. Students are advised to review material to be tested before examinations are taken. Students who wish to select a major or minor in mathematics must file an application with the Chairman of the Mathematics Department and must have their programs approved before registering for upper division courses.
