Program Overview

The Department of Mathematics & Physics offers a degree program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics.

Program Description

Students majoring in another discipline may add Mathematics as a minor field of emphasis with the completion of MAT 241 and MAT 242 and an additional 11 credit hours chosen from approved courses. For further information regarding the minor, see the Department Chair. A student must earn a grade of “C” or better in all required courses taken in the College of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics. If a grade of “C” or better is not attained after two attempts, the student can be dropped from the major. Before graduation, each student must pass an exit examination covering the major subject areas of their major and complete a senior level research paper.

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 become more deeply involves in physics without the commitment of a major. See the Area Chair for additional information.

The Department of Mathematics & Physics collaborates with the College of Education in offering a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Education (Grades 5-9).  For further information, see the Department Chair or the College of Education.
