New Options Added to Math Major

New options have been added to the Mathematics Major in General Mathematics and Mathematics Education Pre-Certification. In 2001, the major now offers five options:

                    Applied Mathematics
                    Business
                    Computer Science
                    General Mathematics
                    Mathematics Education Pre-Certification

By choosing an option within the Mathematics major, students have opportunities to pursue a general degree (General Mathematics), to focus on applications in science and industry (Applied Mathematics), in business and MIS (Business), or in computer science (Computer Science).

Mathematics Education Pre-Certification prepares students for graduate work leading to certification in elementary or secondary education. Currently, Behrend College has an articulation agreement for certification with Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pennsylvania.
