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.

* 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 divisional courses require MAT 3749
as a prerequisite, it is important to take that course during the Autumn
quarter of the junior year.
