Mathematics (MAT)
Ann Cannon, Tony delaubenfels, James Freeman (chair), Edward Hill
Major: A minimum of 10 courses, nine of which are in Mathematics, including MAT 221 and 223; at least four additional 300-level courses, which include either 327 or 337 and exclude Individual and Group Projects; and also 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 eight course credits in Mathematics, to include MAT 221 and 223; at least four additional 300-level courses including MAT 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 (preferably at the start of their sophomore year) and complete a second major in Secondary Education described under Education.
