Notes: For departmental approval to student teach, a student in the program must satisfy the University requirements to student teach and the following specific departmental requirements:
1) Must earn a C– or better in MATH 1420, MATH 1421, MATH 2500, MATH 2900, MATH 3600, MATH 4500/5500, and STAT 1772 or STAT 1774 or MATH 3751.
2) Must complete all of the courses in the minor with a minor grade point average of 2.50 or higher
Policies
Notes:
- A student majoring or minoring in mathematics, who has a grade point average of less than 2.25 in all departmental courses used for that major or minor may not apply a departmental course in which a grade of less than C- is earned to her/his major or minor.
- A student with a major within the Department of Mathematics may declare a second major and/or a certificate within the Department. Interested students should work closely with an advisor.
- The declaration of both a major and a minor with the Department of Mathematics is limited to the following. Interested students should work closely with an advisor.
- A student with any Mathematics major may declare the interdisciplinary Data Science Minor.
- A student with the Mathematics Major or the Mathematics-Teaching Major may declare the Statistics emphasis of the Statistics and Actuarial Science Minor.
