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. Also, no more than one passing grade below C- in mathematics courses may be used. These requirements are modified as indicated below. For all of the above 7-12 majors, the psychology and education courses required may count toward the required credits of general electives. This program is designed for those students whose educational or career objectives combine mathematics and computer science.
