A typical student planning to get a B.A. in mathematics (who in this example entered SPU in the fall of 2008) would follow the schedule below. Courses in normal print are required for the major, while courses in italics are upper division electives. A total of 8 credits of upper division math electives are required for the B.A. For students preparing to be teachers, MAT 3401 is required as one of the elective courses. Note that it is possible to complete all courses for the major by the Autumn quarter of the senior year. This allows for students who plan to be teachers to do their student teaching in the Winter and Spring of their senior year. Because many upper division courses are only offered alternating years, all students are strongly encouraged to consult with an advisor from the faculty in the mathematics department to carefully plan their schedule.
* Either MAT 3441 OR MAT 3443 is required. Students normally take whichever one is offered in their junior year. The other can be also taken to fill upper division electives. ** Either MAT 3751 OR MAT 4403 is required. Students normally take whichever one is offered in their junior year. The other can be also taken to fill upper division electives. *** Teachers
must take MAT 3401. Note that a number of courses are
offered on alternate years. It
is therefore quite important that students wishing to major in mathematics
start out by taking the calculus sequence in their freshman year.
Also, since a number of upper division courses require MAT 3749
as a prerequisite, it is important to take that course during the Autumn
quarter of the junior year. |
