Requirements for Major in Mathematics
There are four emphases for a mathematics major, as described below. The mathematics curriculum is highly sequential with a rigid and necessary prerequisite structure, and not all courses are offered each year. Students planning an academic program that includes a mathematics major, especially one including teacher certification (Tracks III and IV), are urged to consult with a member of the mathematics faculty early in their Albion career so that a proper sequence of courses may be arranged.
Failure to consider carefully the implications of course enrollment decisions may result in delayed graduation.
Foundation Courses
The department may waive one or more of the foundation course requirements for students with advanced high school mathematics preparation.
Requirements for Mathematics Major with Secondary Education Certification
10 Units in Mathematics and Computer Science, Including the Six Foundation Courses, Plus:
Other Requirements for All Mathematics Majors and Minors and Computer Science Minors
- A minimum grade of 2.0 is required in any mathematics course used as a prerequisite for another mathematics course.
- While a student may begin with MATH 125 and still complete a major, it is recommended that prospective majors take a similar course in high school if at all possible.
- No course to be counted toward a major or minor in mathematics may be taken on a credit/no credit basis, except MATH 299 and MATH 399 , which are only offered as credit/no credit courses.
- Students majoring or minoring in mathematics or minoring in computer science are expected to furnish the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science with information about their course work and activities related to the department. The department faculty will use this information when nominating students for awards, scholarships and membership in professional societies, and as the basis for letters of recommendation. Students are encouraged to include this information on their personal World Wide Web pages or to develop a portfolio Web page for their activities related to their major.
