with their advisors to discuss any problems that may exist and may
be advised to repeat these courses. |
| |
3. Provide
opportunities for students to solve real-world and theoretical
problems using a variety of tools. |
1. Students
will solve theoretical and real-world problems in courses such as
Calculus, Statistics, Finite Math and Linear Algebra. |
Students will
successfully complete courses from the following: MA 2300

Statistics II, MA 3410 Numerical Methods using the Computer, and
MA 3510 Differential Equations. |
Students not
completing courses with a grade of C or better will need to meet
with their advisors to discuss any problems that may exist and may
be advised to repeat these courses. |
| |
|
2. Students
will be able to use technology to aid in the solution of problems.
|
Students will
successfully complete courses from the following: MA 2300

Mathematics, MA 3330 Statistics II, MA 3410 Numerical Methods
using the computer, and MA 3510 Differential Equations.
|
Students not
completing courses with a grade of C or better will need to meet
with their advisors to discuss any problems that may exist and may
be advised to repeat these courses. |
| |
4. Acquire
an appreciation of the power and beauty of mathematics and how it
connects with other disciplines and permeates our lives. |
1. Students
will connect mathematics to other disciplines by solving problems
in other disciplines such as Business, Computer Science, Natural
Science, Psychology, Social Science, and see how it occurs in
other fields such as art and music. |
Students will
successfully complete seven credits of a science that requires the
use of mathematics, such as physics or chemistry. In addition,
students will successfully complete the upper division or minor
requirement in the aligned discipline and they will successfully
complete the General Education requirement regarding technology. |
Students not
completing courses with a grade of C or better will need to meet
with their advisors to discuss any problems that may exist and may
be advised to repeat these courses. |
| |
5. Students
will be well-equipped for employment and/or graduate studies in
mathematics or mathematics
related
fields. |
1. Students
will successfully complete all requirements for the degree. |
Students will
graduate from the program with a success rate of 70% if they are
declared as mathematics majors after the completion of MA 3540
Multivariate Calculus. |
The department
will work with the Registrar’s office to examine the success rates
and the areas that students appear to be lacking, and strengthen
those areas through revised course work. |
| |
|
2. Students
will become either gainfully employed in a field of mathematics or
they will go on to graduate school. |
Eighty percent
of the students graduating from the program will find a job in a
field related to mathematics, or they will go on to graduate
school upon completion of their degree. |
The department
will work with the Alumni Office to survey graduates about the
weaknesses and strengths of the program and examine why we are or
are not meeting those objectives. |
