For students majoring in mathematics, all courses that may be applied to the major requirements are included in the determination of the grade point average in the major.
The department administers mathematics skills assessments in MATH 111C, 112C, 114C, 119C, 120C, 122C. For information, see: www.sjfc.edu/campus-services/mathcenter/assessment.dot.
Students Seeking Adolescence Teaching Certification in Mathematics
Students pursuing teaching certification are advised to complete the B.S. inclusive adolescence education major and the B.A. requirements in mathematics as well as the following specific requirements:
- Inclusive adolescence education students are not required to take MATH 480 but may instead substitute MATH 470.
- Inclusive adolescence education students must take MATH 417 as one of their two required 300+ level elective.
- Inclusive adolescence education major (46)
- The major includes education courses, field experiences, student teaching, and courses for certification in students with disabilities (7-12) and middle school extension in the content area (5–6). See Inclusive Adolescence Education for details. It is strongly recommended that students double-majoring in inclusive adolescence education and mathematics also take PHYS 131C and CSCI 161.
