Theprogram must include a minimum of 25 credit hours in onearea. 50% of the hours in the major must be upper levelcourses.Interdisciplinary Studies MinorA student may select an individual program of studycutting across departmental lines. Such programs consist ofa minimum of 18 semester hours. A minor must include aminimum of 12 hours unduplicated by the student’s major(s)and minor(s). The minor should be requested prior tocompletion of 80 hours.The program must be an organized sequence of courseswith a major emphasis in one department and supporting workin at least one other department. At least 50% of the hoursmust be upper level.An Interdisciplinary Minor satisfies the degreerequirement for second field of study in the Bachelor of Arts orthe Bachelor of Science.Interdisciplinary CoursesInterdisciplinary courses bring together a variety offields of study, stressing the wholeness of human knowledgerather than its particularity. The courses demonstrate thatdifferent disciplines provide alternate perspectives on the sametruths and understandings. They integrate student learningand provide an introduction to a wide variety of liberal artsdisciplines.Undergraduate CoursesIDS 110 Shapers of the Modern Mind (1) Conducted as acolloquium, this course provides a discussion about greatthinkers and ideas that have shaped the modern mind. Topicvaries from term to term. Three semesters of IDS 110 arerequired for Neihardt Scholars; other qualified studentsmay be admitted with the approval of the Director of theNeihardt Scholars Program.Mathematics/Mathematics Education (MAT)Physical Sciences & Mathematics DepartmentSchool of Natural & Social SciencesCarhart Science BuildingObjectives: The Mathematics program is intended forthose students who desire to (1) teach 7-12 mathematics, (2)pursue advanced studies in mathematics, (3) apply mathematicsin some technical field or (4) derive pleasure and profitfrom the study of mathematics.Mathematics/Mathematics Education (BA or BS)42-50 hoursThe Mathematics Core is the foundation for a comprehensivemajor with three options: 1) Applied Mathematics, 2) PureMathematics, and 3) 7-12 Field Endorsement.Mathematics Core: 29 hoursMAT 140 Calculus I.....................................................5240 Calculus II....................................................5270 Foundations of Mathematics........................3340 Calculus III...................................................4350 Linear Algebra..............................................3400 Real Analysis I.............................................3410 Probability and Statistics I...........................3460 Senior Seminar or465 Mathematics Education Seminar.................3Choose one of the following concentrations:Applied Mathematics Concentration: Minimum of 21hours + 29 hour coreAll Applied Mathematics majors must take CSC 150 &160 to meet computer literacy requirements.Applied Mathematics students must choose an emphasisin A) Mathematics, B) Biology, C) Chemistry, D) ComputerScience, E) Economics, or F) Physics.General educaiton requirements must be met in the followingway: Students in all emphases must take BIO 110 as aLife Science, ECO 202 as a Social Science, and ECO 203 asa Block 3 elective.
