Honors in mathematics are awarded only upon recommendation of the department faculty. All entering students must take the Math Placement Exam. Based on the results, students are initially assigned to one of the four placement groups. This determines where they can enter the mathematics and computer science curriculum. Students in Group 1 are encouraged to take courses with Group 1 or Group 2 prerequisites.
Assistance is available for students with difficulties in courses.
The curriculum is based on a core of required courses that provides a foundation leading to a number of upper-level options. At least 4 credits must be at level 4. Also, no more than one passing grade below C- in mathematics courses may be used. The program requirements below are for students who will graduate and apply for New York teaching certification before February 2, 2004. These requirements are modified as indicated below.
