The bachelor of arts degree in mathematics is designed to provide students with a broad spectrum of coursework in the mathematical sciences. It is intended to give students a sense of the human story and the philosophical underpinning of mathematics. This is the recommended major for those students intending to go into secondary teaching, but is not intended to be limited to these students alone. There are more elective options for a B.A. and more room for the students to incorporate a minor field of study.

"I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being." ~ Oscar Wilde

The B.S. degree is appropriate for those who seek greater depth of foundational coursework in supporting fields, additional breadth within the major and a research capstone.

Students must choose from three emphases:

The B.A. degree is appropriate for students who desire greater flexibility in their undergraduate coursework. This flexibility may be used to incorporate a minor, a second major, a study abroad program or additional elective courses.

Students must choose one of the following emphases:

The B.S. in biology with an individualized emphasis allows the student to choose electives in consultation with the program director to address their specific interests. Courses from field institutes or other institutions may be used. Examples of possible emphases include marine biology, plant science, animal science and biopsychology. This emphasis is only permitted with approval of the program director.

The B.S. in biology with a human health emphasis is designed for students with interests in health professions.

The following courses are required for this emphasis. The general education courses listed are only those required for this major and emphasis. A total of 57 - 63 units are required for general education (not including the language requirement).

The B.S. in biology with an environmental emphasis is designed for students with interests in environmental biology.

The following courses are required for this emphasis. The general education courses listed are only those required for this major and emphasis. A total of 57 - 63 units are required for general education (not including the language requirement).

The B.S. in biology with a secondary teaching emphasis is designed for students who are interested in teaching secondary biology. The B.A. in biology also offers this emphasis.

In additional to the following coursework, there are additional requirements for teacher education candidates.
