BACHELOR'S DEGREE (BS or BA)

Program Prerequisite: Mathematics Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and licensure requirements (see Teacher Education Department).

 

Minor: Required for the departmental major.

 

Grade Requirements: A grade of "C" or better in courses required for this major (a grade of "C-" is not acceptable), in addition to an overall 2.0 GPA and a 2.0 GPA in mathematics classes numbered 1210 or above. Mathematics Teaching majors must achieve an overall GPA of 3.00 for admission to the Teacher Education program.

 

Credit Hour Requirements: A total of 120 credit hours is required for graduation -- 31-46 of these are required within the major. A total of 40 upper division credit hours is required (courses numbered 3000 and above) -- at least nine credit hours of upper division Mathematics must be completed at Weber State University.

Advisement

All Mathematics majors should see the Mathematics Department to be assigned an advisor. They should meet with their advisors at least once a year to help plan their programs and check on their progress. Call 801-626-6095 for more information or to schedule an appointment. (Also refer to the Department Advisor Referral List.)

Admission Requirements

Declare your program of study with your advisor. Mathematics Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and licensure requirements (see Teacher Education Department).

General Education

Refer to General Requirements for either Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts requirements. PHYS PS/SI2210 will fulfill requirements for both the major and general education. PSY SS1010 (3) in the Social Sciences area is recommended for the Mathematics Teaching Emphasis.
