Note

In addition to the required courses, students must take three elective mathematics courses at the 300 level or above. At most three credits of Practicum (CMSCI 492 , CMSCI 493 ) may be applied toward the B.S. in mathematics. Students planning to attend graduate school in mathematics are encouraged to take MATH 447 . There is one required computer science course: CMSCI 120 .

State Certification in Teaching Mathematics

Mathematics majors can meet the requirements of Maryland and many other states for certification in teaching secondary-level mathematics. Majors who elect this program fulfill the same requirements as other mathematics majors. For required education courses, please refer to the education department’s section of this catalog.
