Department of Mathematics

The Department of Mathematics offers a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Bachelor of Science degree. The Bachelor of Arts degree is appropriate for students pursuing a mathematics-related career. The Bachelor of Science degree is appropriate for students pursuing a career in a mathematics-intensive field. The Bachelor of Science degree has three concentrations: general mathematics, applied mathematics, and teaching mathematics.

In addition to our undergraduate degree programs, the department offers a minor in mathematics, a certificate in Introductory Mathematics, and a certificate in Introductory Actuarial Science.

The department also offers a Master of Arts degree designed for those wishing to pursue a career in teaching mathematics at the community college level or those wishing to pursue a higher degree in mathematics or a related field.

In many ways mathematics functions as a universal language in today's global culture. Upper-division students are encouraged to participate in the California State University's International Programs.

The department’s Center for Enhancement of Mathematics Education organizes many activities aimed at improving mathematics teaching and learning in K-12 schools. We encourage undergraduates interested in mathematics teaching careers to acquaint themselves with these programs.

Preparing for Teaching Credential Programs

One of the requirements to enter the Single Subject Credential Program is verification of subject matter competency. For mathematics, to be best prepared for the credential program and future teaching, students should complete the requirements of the B.S. in Mathematics, Teaching Mathematics Concentration with a C or better in all required math courses. If students choose to instead complete a different Mathematics degree program, then it is strongly recommended that students consult with a faculty advisor to select appropriate math elective courses. If a student completes a degree in another field but still wants to earn a Single Subject Credential in Mathematics, then the student must pass the Mathematics CSET Subtests I, II and III or the equivalent coursework as approved by the Mathematics Department. Other prerequisites of the teacher education program must be met, including a minimum GPA requirement.

Important: verifying subject matter competency is only one of several requirements for admission to the Single Subject Credential Program. Students interested in that program must refer to the Program Admissions Advising page on the College of Education website or contact College of Education Student Services in CE-102 for a complete and up-to-date list of requirements. We recommend doing so as soon as possible, since some items may take time to complete.

Departmental Honors

The department faculty will determine whether a student is to be awarded departmental honors upon graduation. The criteria will be:

A grade point average of at least 3.5 in all mathematics courses taken at this university and counted toward fulfilling requirements of the mathematics major.
MATH 5953, completed with a grade of "A-" or better, and culminating in a presentation to the department.
