MATH 2644 Mathematics Tutoring can be repeated for credit up to three times (for three total credits).
Education: To enroll in 5000-level EDCI and EDEP courses, students must be in their senior year with a 3.0 or better GPA.
3000 or 4000-Level Math Elective: Select three credits of 3000 or 4000-level MATH subject to the following restrictions:
Free Electives: MATH 1004 Discovering Mathematics I (1 credit) and MATH 1044 Discovering Mathematics II (2 credits) are strongly recommended free electives for first-year math majors.
Computer Programming: Courses marked with this footnote are restricted to students in major(s) outside of mathematics, and are generally taken by students who are majoring in math and another major.
Satisfactory progress toward the B.S. in Mathematics requires:
120 Credits
Students are required to have a 2.0 overall GPA and a 2.0 in-major GPA for graduation. In-major GPA for this option is computed using all MATH courses with the exception of MATH 1014 Precalculus with Transcendental Functions, MATH 1025 Elementary Calculus, MATH 1026 Elementary Calculus, MATH 1214 Preparation for Calculus, MATH 1454 Introduction to Programming for Mathematical Problem-Solving, MATH 1524 Business Calculus, MATH 1535 Geometry and Mathematics of Design, MATH 1536 Geometry and Mathematics of Design, MATH 1614 Numbers and Operations for Teachers, MATH 1624 Geometry for Teachers, MATH 2534 Introduction to Discrete Mathematics, MATH 2644 Mathematics Tutoring, MATH 3574 Applied Complex Variables, MATH 3624 , and MATH 4574 Vector and Complex Analysis for Engineers.
Each student is required to participate in the department’s Outcomes Assessment procedures as determined by each year’s Undergraduate Program Committee and approved by the Chair.
Students who did not successfully complete at least two years of a single foreign, classical, or sign language during high school must successfully complete six credit hours of a single foreign, classical, or sign language at the college level. Courses taken to meet this requirement do not count toward the hours required for graduation. Please consult the Undergraduate Catalog for details.
