Mathematics Secondary Education Concentration

Typical Four-Year Sequence of Courses Who Are Following the Program
For Freshmen Who Entered Towson University Prior To Fall 2012

The Department of Mathematics has prepared a typical sequence of courses that illustrates how a student in the mathematics secondary education concentration may complete the requirements for both the mathematics major and the University General Education / Core Curriculum Requirements for graduation in four years. Each student's actual schedule may be somewhat different depending on the student's individual situation.  Note that the actual sequence of courses is mainly constrained by the course prerequisites.

In this concentration, the total number of units required for graduation is 129 to 130.

* Notes:

1. A minimum of 120 units is needed for graduation.
2. The prerequisite for MATH 273 is MATH 119.
3. Students who need to start with MATH 119 are advised to either
   1. Take MATH 119 during the summer before entering Towson University or
   2. Take MATH 119 in the fall term of the freshman year.  These students will need to postpone the calculus sequence and MATH 265 for one term. They should be able to make up for this delay by either:
      1. taking a mathematics course in the summer session during the first two years, or
      2. inserting an additional mathematics course during the junior or senior year.
4. Math 4XX, SCED 401 and SCED 462 are in the process of being approved for this Mathematics Secondary Education Concentration
