292 A. To enroll in mathematics courses MATH QL1030, MATH QL1040, MATH QL1050, MATH 1060, or MATH QL1080 a student must have either: 1. Received a Math ACT score of 23 or above, within the past 24 months or 2. Scored sufficiently high on a placement exam at the WSU testing center within the past twelve months.* or 3. Completed the prerequisite course with a grade of "C" or higher within the past 12 months. Students who score below 23 on the Math ACT will be placed into developmental courses, if applicable, based on the information outlined in the WSU Assessment & Placement Standards document. The purpose of this policy is to help students succeed academically by matching their skills and knowledge with the appropriate academic coursefs) in math. For specific information about the policy go to the online Policies and Procedures Manual (weber.edu/ppm/6-02.htm). B. To enroll in Mathematics courses numbered 1210 through 2210, a student must have within the past twelve months either: 1. Obtained the appropriate AP Calculus score described below: a) Five on the BC test places the student in MATH 2210 or higher b) Three or four on the BC test places the student in MATH SI1220 c) Four or five on the AB test places the student in MATH SI1220 d) Three on the AB test places the student in MATH SI1210 or 2. Scored sufficiently high on a placement exam at the WSU testing center.* or 3. Completed the prerequisite course(s) with a grade of "C" or higher. *A student may take the placement exam a maximum of three times within the previous three years. Failure to comply with this policy will normally result in the cancellation of the students math course registration. It is recommended that students have their programs (majors and minors) approved before registering for upper division courses. Mathematics Major bachelor degree (b.s. or b.a.) » Program Prerequisite: Not required for Regular and Applied Mathematics Emphases. Mathematics Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and certification requirements (see Teacher Education Department). » Minor: Required for the departmental major. » Grade Requirements: A grade of "C" or better in courses required for this major (a grade of "C-" is not acceptable), in addition to an overall 2.0 GPA and a 2.0 GPA in mathematics classes numbered 1210 or above. Mathematics Teaching majors must achieve an overall GPA of 3.00 for admission to the Teacher Education program. » Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 120 credit hours is required for graduation - 40-46 of these are required within the major. A total of 40 upper division credit hours is required (courses numbered 3000 and above) - at least nine credit hours of upper division Mathematics must be completed at Weber State University. Advisement All Mathematics majors should see the Mathematics Department to be assigned an advisor. They should meet with their advisors at least once a year to help plan their programs and check on their progress. Call 801-626-6095 for more information or to schedule an appointment. Admission Requirements Declare your program of study (see page 18) with your advisor. There are no special admission or application requirements for the Regular or Applied mathematics emphases. Mathematics Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and certification requirements (see Teacher Education Department). General Education Refer to pages 36-41 for either Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts requirements. PHYS PS/SI2210 will fulfill requirements for both the major and general education. PSY SSI010 (3) in the Social Sciences area is recommended for the Mathematics Teaching Emphasis. Mathematics Sequences A.
