For the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts and Sciences and in the Teaching of Mathematics

This program leads to the degree of bachelor of science, with a major in mathematics. A student must maintain a 4.0 (A = 5.0) grade-point average in mathematics and a 3.75 all University grade-point average to remain in the program. All requirements for the sciences and letters curriculum must be met. A total of 120 hours is required for graduation. Students are advised that additional course work may be necessary to teach middle grades six through eight after June 30, 1996. Consult the certification officer in 110 Education Building for additional information.

GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS

See the description of the general education requirements. Note that students in this curriculum satisfy the mathematics requirement by the requirements of the major. Students must elect PHYCS 106 and PHYCS 107, CHEM 107, CHEM 108, CHEM 109, CHEM 110, or an approved science sequence of equivalent merit. Students may need additional hours in humanities to complete the 15-hour minimum required for certification.
