ate the student on a five-point scale for each of I – III above. A satisfactory score will be<br />
achieved if the student receives an average score of 3 or higher in each area.<br />
3) A comprehensive exam that focuses on the three (3) Learning Outcomes will be administered<br />
at the end of each student‘s final Mathematics course associated with the Computational<br />
Mathematics concentration (either MATH 3092 or MATH 3185). This exam will be<br />
graded independently by at least two (2) members of the Mathematics faculty. At least<br />
70% of the students completing the Computational Mathematics concentration will earn a<br />
score of 65% or higher on this exam.<br />
In addition, a survey is sent to recent graduates of the program during the Fall term of each year.<br />
The results of these surveys are considered and may result in changes to improve the program.<br />
DEGREES OFFERED<br />
Students can pursue the following degrees in Mathematics:<br />
Bachelor of Arts degree<br />
Bachelor of Science degree<br />
Bachelor of Science degree with a concentration in Computational Mathematics<br />
REQUIREMENTS FOR A MAJOR IN MATHEMATICS<br />
To be accepted as a Mathematics major, a student must<br />
have completed MATH 2221<br />
have an overall GPA of 2.25 or better, and<br />
have a GPA of 2.5 or better in all Mathematics courses numbered 2221 or higher.<br />
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE<br />
The Bachelor of Arts degree is the liberal studies degree in Mathematics. Students who pursue<br />
the Bachelor of Arts degree have more options in selecting their courses, and are likely to seek<br />
careers as teachers or enter graduate programs in Mathematics Education. This degree requires a<br />
minimum of 39 semester hours in Mathematics courses, as follows:<br />
MATH 2221 Analytic Geometry and Calculus I (4)<br />
MATH 2222 Analytic Geometry and Calculus II (4)<br />
MATH 2223 Analytic Geometry and Calculus III (4)<br />
MATH 2224 Differential Equations (3)<br />
MATH 2241 Programming in MATLAB for the Sciences (3)<br />
MATH 3316 Probability Theory (3)<br />
MATH 3335 Linear Algebra (3)<br />
*MATH 3380 Discrete Mathematics (3) OR MATH 3382 Combinatorial Design Theory (3)<br />
**MATH 4333 Modern Algebra I (3) OR MATH 4343 Analysis I (3)<br />
MATH 4350 Senior Capstone (3)<br />
* One (1) of these courses must be taken.<br />
The other may be used to satisfy one of the additional courses in the next listing.<br />
