    BACHELOR'S DEGREE PROGRAMS
    The undergraduate curriculum of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics prepares the student for graduate study; teaching; service in science, government and industry; and supporting roles in the social, biological and physical sciences. The program has two areas of specialization: general mathematics, and secondary teaching.

    PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
    In addition to general University requirements and General Studies requirements found in the 1996-97 Catalog, students seeking the B.S. in Mathematics must meet the requirements listed below.

    Consult with your academic advisor for courses which may satisfy both the general education requirements and prerequisites.

    Candidates for admission to UWF's NCATE/DOE approved teacher education programs must meet admission requirements detailed under Admission to Teacher Education. In addition to the program requirements noted below, teacher education students must also complete requirements specified under Teacher Education.

    Mathematics/Education majors must include in the lower division requirements at least 9 sh of coursework with international or diversity focus. Consult with your academic advisor for appropriate courses.
