Show 564 College of Science planning to go directly to graduate school; the Applied Mathematics major prepares one for a job that uses mathematics; the Mathematics Teaching major prepares students to be teachers of mathematics in elementary through high school. 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 Weber State University students will be placed into mathematics courses by the following procedure. A. To enroll in mathematics courses MATH 1030, MATH 1040, MATH 1050, MATH 1060, or MATH 1080 a student must have within the past 24 months either: 1. Received a Math ACT score of 23 or above or 2. Sco red sufficiently high o n a place ment exam at the WSU testing center, or 3. Completed the prerequisite course with a grade of "C" or higher. Students who score below 23 on the Math ACT wUl 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 course(s) in math. For specific information about the policy go to the online Policies and Procedures Manual PPM 6-2. Also refer to the Developmental Math Program. B. To enroll in Mathematics courses numbered 1210 through 2210, a student must have within the past 24 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 1220 c. Four or five on the AB test places the student in MATH 1220 d. Three on the AB test places the student in MATH 1210 or 2. Sco red sufficiently high o n a place ment exam at the WSU testing center. or 3. Completed the prerequisite course(s) with a grade of "C" or higher. Failure to comply with this policy will normally result in the cancellation of the student's math course registration. It is recommended that students have their programs (majors and minors) approved before registering for upper division courses. Mathematics (BA) All Mathematics Majors • Program Prerequisite: Not required for Mathematics and Applied Mathematics majors. Mathematics Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and licensure requirements (see Teacher Education Department). • Minor: Required only for the regular mathematics major. • Grade Requ i re m ents: A grade o f" C" o r bette r 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. • Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 120 credit hours are required for graduation; 31-46 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. (Also refer to the Department Advisor Referral List.) Admission Requirements Declare your program of study (see Program of Study (Major/ Minor) Declaration) 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 licensure requirements (see Teacher Education Department). General Education Refer to Degree and General Education Requirements for either Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts requirements. PHYS 2210 will fulfill requirements for both the major and general education. PSY 1010 (3) in the Social Sciences area is recommended for the Mathematics Teaching emphasis.
