Secondary Education Mathematics Fast Track
Note to students: The fast track in mathematics teacher preparation is for highly-motivated students who like mathematics and are good at it. The schedule below assumes that you are entering 四虎影院 with credit for MA-9 and MA-10; Calculus I & II. Requirements will differ if you enter 四虎影院 without AP or college credit. Remember that this is a SAMPLE. Your schedule, for many reasons, will probably not end up looking exactly like this. What鈥檚 shown is a 鈥渇ast-track鈥 schedule. Be aware that you also have the option of completing the Math major over a four-year period, with a fifth year reserved for your teaching credential. Please confer with Math department advisor as major requirements sometimes change. Pre-requisites for the Education Program are in bold.

Assumptions underlying this plan:
-
This program will work for the BA degree, but not for the BS degree.
-
This program will work only for a very talented student in two respects, namely (1) that the student be able to begin the program with third-semester calculus in the fall of the first year; and (2) that the student take the first foundational course in our major (MA 108 or MA 110) in the second year鈥攖his program has been a challenge for students in the past.
-
GE requirements for Reasoning Abstractly and Quantitative & Analytical Reasoning will be fulfilled within major.
