Bachelor of Science in Mathematics - Integrated Credential Option - Catalog Year 2025-2026

The requirement for entrance to the major and minor programs is completion of two years of algebra as well as courses in geometry and trigonometry, or a sequence of courses containing their equivalents, such as MATH 3 (College Algebra) and 5 (Trigonometry). It is strongly recommended that such study be completed before entrance to the university.

Incoming Integrated Credential Option students are eligible for the Mathematics Teaching Scholars Honors Program

Advising Notes

1. PHYS 4AL is required for the Integrated Credential Option. PHYS 4A and 4AL will satisfy the General Education (GE) Breadth requirement (GE areas 5A + 5C).
2. Students in the Integrated Credential Option are required to take ANTH 105W as a writing course that also satisfies the Multicultural/International Requirement. Integrated Credential Math majors are exempt from 6 units of the AUGR.
3. Three units of MATH 75 (or MATH 75A) also will satisfy the G.E. Foundation Area 2. MATH 123 is double counted as a math elective requirement and G.E. area UD 2/UD 5 requirement for the Integrated Credential Option. CI 152 is double counted as a Credential requirement and G.E. area UD 4 requirement for the Integrated Credential
   option.

Advising

It is strongly recommended, to all math majors, to have an advising session at least once a semester. If you do not have an assigned advisor, please talk to the staff at the Mathematics department office (PB 381).
