Credential Program in Mathematics

Those students completing option C can easily satisfy the requirements of the Single Subject Matter Preparation Program in Mathematics, designed to prepare students for entry into the Credential Program in Mathematics.

To do this, a student should choose the following electives under Option C.

Math 4901 Senior Seminar

Math 4900 Independent Study/Tutoring in Mathematics

Two units experience in teaching and tutoring mathematics. These may be earned by tutoring in the departmental Math Lab for 3 hours per week over a period of two quarters, or for 6 hours per week during a single quarter. Prospective Math Lab tutors must apply in the Math/C.S. Student Center.

Elective: 4-unit upper division Mathematics elective

Besides the major, the student needs certain other courses. Also required are twenty-two units of approved courses for breadth and perspective. These courses should be chosen with the help and approval of the student's advisor. Note that 7 of these can be used toward the major. These are CS 1160, Math 4900, Math 3100, Math 3331, Math 4215, and Stat 3501, Stat 3502.

The twenty-two units must be chosen as follows:

One course in computer science

CS 1160 Introduction to Computer Science (4)

One course from the following list, or other field experience approved by the Mathematics Credential Preparation Advisor.

TED 2801 Field Experience in Teaching (3)

Math 3898 Cooperative Education (2)

Math 4900 Independent Study: Tutoring in Mathematics (2-3)

Remaining courses are to be chosen from the following list, or from other related courses approved by the Mathematics Credential Preparation Advisor.
