Show 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 Students who wish to select a major or minor in mathematics must first file an application with the chairman of the mathematics department. Department Major The following courses are required for the departmental major: B.A. Degree Mathematics 21, 51, 52, 53, 54, 161, 162, 163 and at least 21 credit hours of approved mathematics courses numbered above 101 other than 121, 122, 123. These courses must be completed with a "C" grade or better. At least 12 credit hours of mathematics courses numbered above 101 must be earned at Weber State College. Physics 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66. 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 languages. Secondary Teaching Major A minimum of 33 credit hours of Education courses: Education 111, 101, 104, 146, 161, 157, 112, 102, and Psychology 1 and Speech 12 are required. At least 9 credit hours of approved courses in each of the two general education groups (Humanities and Life Science) and 12 credit hours of approved Social Science courses are required. Courses submitted to satisfy the Physical Science area requirement must include 10 credit hours from Physics 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66 and/or Chemistry 24, 25. (See Physical Science area requirements). Required mathematics courses are: Mathematics 21, 51, 52, 53, 131, 153 and in addition at least 16 credit hours of courses selected from Mathematics 127, 128, 132, 135, 146, 192 152, 157. Other courses numbered above 101 may be substituted on approval of the Mathematics Department. Mathematics 101 is a recommended elective. At least 8 credit hours of mathematics courses numbered above 101 must be earned at Weber State College. Departmental and Teaching Minors Required mathematics courses: Mathematics 21, 51, 52, 53 and in addition at least 8 credit hours to be chosen from courses numbered above 101 other than Mathematics 121, 122, 123. Teaching minors should take Mathematics 152 or 131 and 153 or 157. At least one four credit hour course numbered above 101 must be completed at Weber State College. Note: A grade point average of 2.0 is required of all majors and minors in all mathematics courses. Note: The Weber State College Mathematics Department aims to gradually increase its major and minor requirements to meet the recommendations of the Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics (CUPM) and other national committees and organizations concerned with pregrad- uate preparation in mathematics.
