Traditional Mathematics Concentration

The Traditional Mathematics Concentration (without Licensure) is intended to prepare students for graduate school in mathematics or for any career that uses the critical thinking skills gained in a rigorous study of mathematics. 

Students in the Traditional Mathematics Concentration must take

  • MATH 142 -- Discrete Mathematics
  • One of 
    • MATH 171 -- Calculus and Analytical Geometry I *
    • MATH 169 -- Calculus I with Integrated Precalculus II*
  • MATH 172 -- Calculus and Analytical Geometry II *
  • MATH 235 -- Foundations of Geometry
  • MATH 271 -- Calculus and Analytical Geometry III *
  • MATH 260 -- Introductory Linear Algebra
  • MATH 300 -- Mathematical Foundations
  • MATH 335 -- Foundations of Geometry
  • MATH 423 -- Concepts of Abstract Algebra
  • MATH 430 -- Advanced Calculus I
  • MATH 431 -- Advanced Calculus II
  • STAT 301 -- Probability and Statistics I
  • 9 elective credits from any 300- or 400-level math or stats course. [Students seeking licensure to teach math in secondary schools see the Traditional Mathematics Concentration with Licensure.]
  • One of 
    • ITEC 109 -- Problem Solving and Programming
    • ITEC 120 -- Principles of Computer Science I

Majors in the Traditional Mathematics Concentration seeking a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics degree but not seeking licensure to teach math in secondary schools must six credits in

  • Any physics course numbered 200 or above
  • Any astronomy course
  • Any biology course
  • Any chemistry course
  • Any geology course
  • GEOS 130 -- Physical Geography
  • ITEC 120 or any ITEC course numbered 200 or above with the exception of ITEC 200 or 202.
  • EDUC 467 Student Teaching
  • Other courses approved by the department

Majors in the Traditional Mathematics Concentration seeking a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics degree must complete the B.A. language requirement.

*--A grade of at least a C is required in MATH 171 (or 168 and 169), 172, and 271. Departmental majors receiving credit for MATH 271 cannot subsequently receive credit for any 100-level mathematics course unless the course is required for their concentration.
