The Mathematics Major has two options, a Mathematics option and a Mathematics Education option (field endorsement). Students completing a mathematics degree must also take Math 340 in General Studies. If the Mathematics Education option is chosen, attention must be given to the additional course work requirements for entrance into the secondary teacher education program and to the professional semester. Mathematics is a field endorsement in the teacher education program.
