A typical student planning to get a B.A. in mathematics (who in this example entered SPU in the fall of 2007) 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 Note that MAT 2375 and 2376 (which are listed in the requirements for the B.A. prior to fall 2008) have been replaced by a new single course, MAT 3360. Students may take either 2375/2376 OR 3360 to fulfill the degree requirements. Note that the courses listed below reflect the old requirements for the B.A. Students who enter SPU in the fall of 2008 or later should see the sample schedule for the new degree requirements. 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. |
