• a course with significant mathematical application outside the discipline.
• Four credits from CSci:
• CSci 1201, or
• CSci 1301, or

• University Catalog, Checkpoint Charts, sample plans.

To get a math major and prepare to obtain Secondary Education teaching licensure, you will need the following:

• all courses coloured gold,
• the three courses with the green border,
• a course with significant mathematical application outside the discipline,
• Four credits from CSci:
• CSci 1201, or
• CSci 1301, or
• CSci 1001 and CSci 1101.
• Secondary Education has additional course requirements for admission. These requirements are found on this web site.
• sample five year course plan for math major seeking Secondary Education Teaching Licensure.
• Note that Geometry and History of Math are offered in alternating years, so it is very important you take them when they are offered!
• Many of the Gen Ed requirements are met by taking specific courses which are required for licensure. Plan ahead.

The important things to keep in mind as you set up your course schedule are the following:

• Required courses may not be taken S-N unless offered S-N only.
• You need 120 credits to graduate
• You need 60 of these credits as Gen-Ed credits
• You need to meet the specific Gen Ed requirements (easy to do, but make sure you do!)
