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.
BA and BS Liberal Arts majors as listed on pages 22-23.
BS Education majors as listed on pages 31-32.
