- Prerequisite to the Applied Mathematics minor: Students must complete one of the calculus courses, MATH 112 or MATH 131, with a grade of “C” or better.
- Required Course (4 credit hours): Students in the applied mathematics minor program are required to complete MATH 132 with a grade of “C” or better
- Mathematics Electives (9-15 credit hours): Students in the applied mathematics minor program need to take three to five additional mathematics courses from the following list: MATH 223, MATH 231, MATH 224, MATH 240, MATH 311, MATH 431, MATH 432, MATH 440, MATH 450, MATH 480, MATH 507, MATH 511, MATH 608, MATH 612, MATH 623, MATH 650, MATH 651, MATH 690, MATH 692
- Application Electives (up to 6 credit hours): Students in the applied mathematics minor program may take up to two courses at 200 level or above from an application area in biology, chemistry, physics, business and economics, computer science, or an engineering or technology discipline.
Minor in Mathematics Education
All minor applications must be approved by the Department of Mathematics.
The minor in Mathematics Education consists of satisfaction of prerequisites and successful completion with a grade of “C” or better in at least 26 credit hours of course work to help qualify the minor candidate in mathematics education for a secondary school teaching license. The prerequisite and 25-26 credit hours of course work are specified as follows:
- Prerequisites to the Mathematics Education Minor: a) Students must complete MATH 110 or MATH 111 and MATH 112 or MATH 131 and MATH 224, with a grade of “C” or better, b) Students must be formally admitted to the Teacher Education Program. This process includes: 1) A completed application approved by the Department of Mathematics, 2) A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.80 (on a 4.00 scale), 3) Passing scores on Praxis I, and 4) An interview by the Teacher Education Panel.
- Required courses (19 credit hours): Students in the mathematics education minor program are required to complete the following MATH and CUIN courses: MATH 132, MATH 205, MATH 206, CUIN, CUIN 520, CUIN 640, CUIN 660.
- Mathematics electives (6-7 credit hours): Students in the mathematics education minor program need to take at least two additional mathematics courses from the following list: MATH 231, MATH 242, MATH 430, or MATH 450.
All minor applications must be approved by the Department of Mathematics.
