Inclusive Adolescence Education/Mathematics Dual Major

Students pursuing teaching certification in inclusive adolescence education (mathematics) may dual major in inclusive adolescence education and mathematics (B.A. requirements) and earn a Bachelor of Science degree. In addition to meeting all of the inclusive adolescence education requirements (40-43 credits: see Inclusive Adolescence Education for details) the Department of Mathematical and Computing Sciences in conjunction with the education department, has outlined the following requirements for certification in mathematics:

• Complete the B.A. requirements in mathematics as listed above
• Substitute MATH 470 in place of MATH 480
• Complete MATH 417 as one of the two required 300+ level electives.
• Strongly recommended completion of PHYS 131C and CSCI 161

Inclusive Adolescence Education Major with a Mathematics Concentration

Students pursuing teaching certification in inclusive adolescence education (mathematics) may choose to complete a concentration in mathematics instead of a major, resulting in a Bachelor of Science degree. In addition to meeting all of the inclusive adolescence education requirements (40-43 credits: see Inclusive Adolescence Education for details), the Department of Mathematical and Computing Sciences, in conjunction with the education department, has outlined the following courses for the mathematics concentration which meet the New York state requirement for mathematics certification:

• MATH 120C – P4 Calculus I (4)
• MATH 122C – P4 Calculus II (4)
• MATH 200C – Discrete Structures (3)
• MATH 221C – Calculus III (4)
• MATH 232 – Linear Algebra (3)
• MATH 301 – Mathematical Statistics I (3)
• MATH 310 – Number Theory (3)
• MATH 325 – Abstract Algebra (3)

Inclusive Childhood Education Major with a Liberal Arts Major/Concentration in Mathematics

Students pursuing teaching certification in inclusive childhood education must declare either a second major or a concentration in a liberal arts field. Either choice results in a Bachelor of Science degree. Inclusive childhood education majors who wish to pursue a dual major with mathematics take all of the major requirements as listed above (B.A. or B.S. degree requirements) in addition to meeting all of the inclusive childhood education requirements (49-52 credits: see Inclusive Childhood Education for details). If an inclusive childhood education major wishes to complete a concentration in mathematics, the Department of Mathematical and Computing Sciences in conjunction with the education department, has outlined the following courses which meet the New York state requirement for a liberal arts concentration in this field:

• MATH 114C – P4 Math Explorations I (3)
• MATH 115C – P4 Math Explorations II (3)
