Show 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 III). 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, 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 131 and 153 unless otherwise approved by Mathematics Department. 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 in all mathematics courses is required of all majors or minors in mathematics. 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 pregraduate preparation in mathematics.
