Cut-and-paste from one undergrad program... MATHEMATICS EDUCATION: Required Mathematics (36 credits): MATH 122 - Analytic Geometry 3 credits MATH 131 - Calculus I 4 credits MATH 132 - Calculus II 4 credits MATH 231 - Calculus III 4 credits MATH 323 - College Geometry 3 credits MATH 341 - Probability and Statistics 3 credits MATH 380 - Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 3 credits MATH 410 - Introduction to Analysis 3 credits MATH 411 - Theory of Numbers 3 credits MATH 412 - Abstract Algebra 3 credits MATH 413 - Linear Algebra I 3 credits Elective Mathematics (6 credits): 6 credits from: MATH 320 - Discrete Mathematics 3 credits MATH 333 - Differential Equations 3 credits MATH 430 - Real Variables I 3 credits MATH 431 - Complex Variables I 3 credits MATH 441 - Theory of Probability 4 credits MATH 442 - Mathematical Statistics 4 credits MATH 490 - Topics in Mathematics 2-6 credits CHEM 321 - Analytical Chemistry 4 credits CHEM 461 - Physical Chemistry I 4 credits PHYS 215 - Modern Physics I 3 credits PHYS 216 - Modern Physics II 3 credits PHYS 310 - Analytical Mechanics 3 credits PHYS 341 - Electricity and Magnetism 3 credits MATHEMATICS MAJOR: Required Mathematics (27 credits): MATH 122 - Analytic Geometry 3 credits MATH 131 - Calculus I 4 credits MATH 132 - Calculus II 4 credits MATH 231 - Calculus III 4 credits MATH 380 - Introduction to Abstract Mathematics 3 credits MATH 410 - Introduction to Analysis 3 credits MATH 412 - Abstract Algebra 3 credits MATH 413 - Linear Algebra I 3 credits Elective Mathematics (12 credits): Select 12 credits, 6 of which must be at the 400 level, from the following: MATH 320 - Discrete Mathematics 3 credits MATH 323 - College Geometry 3 credits MATH 333 - Differential Equations 3 credits MATH 341 - Probability and Statistics 3 credits MATH 411 - Theory of Numbers 3 credits MATH 430 - Real Variables I 3 credits MATH 431 - Complex Variables I 3 credits MATH 441 - Theory of Probability 4 credits MATH 442 - Mathematical Statistics 4 credits MATH 490 - Topics in Mathematics 2-6 credits The actual "math content" for a math ed major at the undergrad level is CLEARLY greater than plain-old "Algebra" and "Geometry." In fact, a student in the secondary undergrad math ed program at this particular college (a four-year "state university") actually takes MORE college math courses (42 credit hours) than a student who is majoring in mathematics (39 credit hours)!!! There are too many people who incorrectly believe that the highest math class a math ed major takes at the college level is "Calculus for Dummies" or something like that, with the majority of their classes things like "Writing on Chalkboards 101" and "Taking Attendance II."
