Math Major/Minor Information

Prequisite

Since each course in mathematics requires a working knowledge of principles from prerequisite courses, students are required to earn a "C" grade in each prerequisite course before registering for the next course. Placement tests are required, prior to registration, of all students who have not completed the specified prerequisite courses from an accredited college with a "C" grade or better within the past year. Students are admitted to Mathematics 1030, 1040, 1050, 1060, or 1080 on the basis of their performance on the ACT entrance tests (score of 23 or higher on the mathematics portion). Further placement in mathematics 121 or higher is possible by scoring 3 or higher on the AP Mathematics exam or by scoring sufficiently high on the calculus readiness exams (both college algebra and trigonometry). Arrangements to take the examinations must be made with the Weber State Testing Center. Students are advised to review material to be tested before the examinations are taken.

It is recommended that students have their programs (majors and minors) approved before registering for upper division courses.

Bachelor's Degree

Program Prerequisite

Not required for Regular and Applied Mathematics Emphases. Mathematics Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and certification requirements (see Teacher Education Department in this catalog).

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

Credit Hour Requirements

A total of 120 credit hours is required for graduation -- 43 of these are required within the major. A total of 40 upper division credit hours is required (courses numbered 3000 and above) -- at least twelve credit hours of upper division Mathematics must be completed at Weber State.

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 626-6095 for more information or to schedule an appointment.

See the course catalog for more information on Mathematics major and minor requirements.
