While the department aims to help students register for the proper mathematics courses, primary responsibility rests with the student. Students enrolled in mathematics classes for which they do not have the required prerequisites may have their registration in such courses canceled at any time. A student who fails to get a "C" or better grade in a repeated course may be denied the privilege to re-register for that course. Baccalaureate Degree Requirements Departmental Major The following courses are required for the departmental major: B.A. Degree Mathematics 21, 34, 61, 62, 63 and at least 27 credit hours of mathematics courses numbered above 101. These upper division courses must be completed with a "C" grade or better. Physics 61, 62, 63. German 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or the equivalent in another approved modern language. B.S. Degree The same as for the B.A. degree except that students desiring a B.S. degree may select approved electives in the place of the modern language. It is recommended that majors planning graduate work obtain at least a reading knowledge of French or German or other approved modern language. Secondary Teaching Major Required 33 credit hours of Education courses. At least 10 credit hours in each of the four general education groups are required to meet State Certification requirements. A minimum of 40 hours of approved Mathematics is required as follows: Mathematics 21, 34, 61, 62, 63, 131, 153, and in addition, at least 10 more credit hours of courses numbered above 101, to be selected from Mathematics 135, 141, 142, 152, 161, 162, 163, 191, 192. A minimum of 10 credit hours must be completed from Physics 61, 62, 63 and/or Chemistry 24, 25, 26. Departmental and Teaching MinorsRequired mathematics courses: Mathematics 21, 34, 61, 62 and in addition, at least 4 credit hours to be chosen from Mathematics 63 and those courses numbered above 101. Teaching minors should select from Mathematics 63,131, 152, and 153. Courses of Instruction 001. First Course in AlgebraEssentials of mathematics to qualify students for Mathematics 14. A W S (5).
