The Department of Mathematics & Physics offers a degree program leading to the Bachelor of Science in mathematics. Students majoring in another discipline may add mathematics as a minor field of emphasis upon completion of 15 Semester Hours in courses beyond the elementary calculus sequence. For further information regarding the minor, see the Department Chair.
Program Student Learning Outcomes (PSLO)
Following the completion of a major in mathematics, students will demonstrate:
- Students will demonstrate a proficiency in algebraic skills, including: algebra, pre-calculus, trigonometry and associated applications.
- Students will demonstrate an understanding of limit-based mathematics (calculus): including differentiation, integration and associated applications.
- Students will demonstrate the ability to read and construct mathematical proofs and justify logical arguments.
- Students will demonstrate the ability to participate in mathematical communication: reading and writing mathematical papers; understanding and delivering oral presentations.
Students will demonstrate the ability to participate in mathematical communication: reading and writing mathematical papers; understanding and delivering oral presentations.
The Physics minor is especially recommended for science, engineering and math majors who plan to pursue advanced technological training. The course sequence includes upper-level courses that allow students to becomes more deeply involves in physics without the commitment of a major. See the Area Chair for additional information.
