B.S. in Mathematics: Option in Mathematics Education, 2025-2026 Catalog
Four Year Degree Worksheet for:
This degree worksheet is intended to help you develop a balanced course schedule while completing your degree within 4 years. The same sequence of courses (with fewer courses each semester) is also recommended for students completing their degree in 5 or 6 years. The listed schedule of courses is a sample path to the degree and one of several possible ways of completing the degree requirements.
This worksheet is not intended to replace academic advising with your assigned advisor. ÀóÖ¦ÊÓƵ should consult with their assigned advisor to determine the appropriate sequence of required courses and electives based on their academic goals.
ÀóÖ¦ÊÓƵ Enrollment Services prepares the Academic Requirements Report, which is the official graduation verification.
