Mathematics Degrees

Mathematics surrounds us in our everyday lives.

From the design of computers, the scheduling of airlines, the creation of more efficient engines, to the pricing of commodities made by corporations, mathematics is the language of business and the sciences. As a mathematics major at Albright College, you will learn the problem-solving skills that are instrumental and highly valued in our society.

Albright’s mathematics faculty are committed to giving you the tools and knowledge needed to realize your full potential. Faculty members employ the latest technology combined with traditional and experiential learning techniques to give you the education you’ll need to be successful.

The Mathematics Department offers a bachelor of science degree (B.S.) in mathematics. Courses are designed to provide a thorough undergraduate training in mathematics for students who wish to pursue graduate study in the subject, teach mathematics in secondary or elementary schools, or work in various fields in business and industry.

The Mathematics major at Alderson-Broaddus College prepares students to put their mathematical ability to work on real-world problems. Unlike the theoretical mathematics emphasized in many colleges, applied math skills will have immediate employment advantages. Studying the intimate relationship between mathematics and computers is also a significant component of this major.

Teaching Mathematics
Secondary Level (7 – 12 certification)
Students seeking a secondary teaching major or minor must fulfill all requirements for the mathematics major/minor described above. In addition to the other requirements for the major/minor, all students earning secondary mathematics teacher certification must include one department approved course in Geometry, one department approved course or course sequence in Probability and Statistics, one department approved course in Discrete Math, and one department approved course in the History of Mathematics. Additional recommended courses are MS170 and MS321. All candidates are required to take MS375 and are expected to become proficient in the use of computers.

Elementary Level (K – 8 certification)
Students seeking an elementary teaching major must fulfill all requirements for the mathematics major, described above. Included in the 32 credits required for the math major there must be at least one department approved course or course sequence in Probability and Statistics and one department approved course in the History of Mathematics. In addition to the 32 credits required for the major, candidates must also complete MS260, MS261, and MS271 for certification requirements.
Mathematics Minor for Elementary Certification requires 24 credit hours, including MS121, MS122, and a minimum of 16 hours selected from MS114, MS252 and those core courses requiring MS121 or higher as a prerequisite. Included in the 24 credits must be at least one department approved course or course sequence in Probability and Statistics, and one department approved course in the History of Mathematics. Certification requirements of
MS260, MS261, and MS271 must also be met.

Since the above are State of Michigan requirements, they apply to all students (graduates and undergraduates) seeking mathematics teacher certification. Major/minor programs require departmental approval.
