Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics
The Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics has five distinct concentrations so that students can select an appropriate pathway depending on their career goals. Each of the concentrations enables students to develop the following: the ability to construct mathematical proofs; the ability to think analytically and critically, and to formulate problems, solve them and interpret their solutions; the ability to utilize technology when doing mathematics; and communicate mathematics in written and oral forms. The program prepares students to be competitive in the job market and/or to pursue graduate education. In addition to the requirements for the major, students must meet all other university requirements for a bachelor’s degree. Please consult the section in this catalog for complete information. All courses required for the major must be completed with a “C” (2.0) or better, and may not be taken on a Credit/No Credit basis. Programming Requirement (3-4 units)
Notes:
* Upper-division writing requirement ** Transfer students only. Must take MATH 320, CPSC 120 or CPSC 121. Teaching Mathematics Concentration (30-34 units)
The Teaching Mathematics concentration provides a first step for mathematics teaching career paths at the high school, community college and university levels. In particular, it prepares students to enter the Single Subject Credential in Mathematics program. The concentration provides students with the opportunity to explore a wide range of mathematical topics, including abstract algebra, analysis, geometry, topology, number theory and combinatorics. It also connects these advanced mathematical topics to those taught at the middle school or high school level. Plus 6-8 units from the following:
