Notes:


  1. Computer Skills: Mathematics majors with enhanced computer skills find a wider job market open to them. Majors are required to take CS 151  and MA 302 .  CS 212  offers students the opportunity to learn the complete syntax of a computer language and gives them the necessary experience to become proficient programmers. All majors are urged to consider taking CS 212 .
  2. Secondary Education: Students interested in Secondary Education may follow one of two courses of study: the Secondary Education Concentration, or some other concentration together with admission to the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program. These students should choose between the courses of study as early as possible: education courses taken at the undergraduate level will not count towards the requirements of the MAT program. Students in the MAT program are strongly encouraged to take MA 431  and MA 441   (these courses are required for students in the Secondary Education concentration).
