Mathematics (MAT)
Edward Hill (chair), Ann Cannon, Tony deLaubenfels, James Freeman
Major: Mathematics 221 and 223; at least four additional 300-level courses, which include either 327 or 337 and exclude Individual and Group Projects; and knowledge of a programming language (CSC 140 or equivalent), which the Department recommends be acquired by the end of the sophomore year.
Teaching Major: A minimum of 8 course credits in Mathematics, to include 221 and 223, at least four additional 300-level courses including Mathematics 327 and 331, knowledge of a programming language (CSC 140 or equivalent), and a grade point average in all Mathematics courses of at least 2.5. Students with other majors who intend to ask for certification in Mathematics as a second field must take MAT 327 and 331, and have a grade point average in all Mathematics courses of at least 2.5. In addition to the foregoing requirements, prospective teachers must also apply for admission to the Teacher Education Program and complete a second major in Secondary Education described under Education.
