Mathematics, Teaching Mathematics Concentration, B.A.

The following Four-Year Roadmaps are meant to be a guide for students and academic advisors in planning a path to a degree within four years (eight semesters) if the student is able and willing to do so. The set of courses shown below are based exclusively on the Fall 2020 Catalog and the most up to date General Education (GE) Program in that catalog year. The requirements outlined may not apply to students in earlier catalog years, especially in the GE courses required in specific categories. Please note that courses identified in the Four -Year Roadmaps may not always be available during each of the prescribed semesters, therefore, it is always recommended to consult an academic advisor. Advisors may need to adjust the courses in the Four-Year Roadmap to keep students on track to graduate in four years.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THEMATHEMATICS BACHELOR OF ARTS

  1. Meet with your assigned faculty advisor each semester to plan and review your academic progress.
  2. Visit your College of Natural Sciences andMathematics Student Success Team in MH 488 to review GE and graduation requirements.
  3. Complete GE courses in areas A.1, A.2, and A.3 with a "C-" or higher.One GE Course in B, C, D, or E must double-count as a Z course. Check your Titan Degree Audit for courses that appear in both categories.
  4. All Mathematics courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or higher.
  5. Apply for Graduation through your Student Center at the start of your seventh semester.
