The mathematics department offers two options for mathematics majors, the liberal arts option and the education option. Both are based on a common core curriculum of 18 credit hours.
1. The liberal arts mathematics major is designed for students who desire a general education in mathematics as a background for graduate school or a career related to mathematics.
2. The education mathematics major is designed for prospective secondary school teachers. The curriculum provides the student with specialized preparation in mathematics and professional training required to obtain teacher certification.
