The Department of Mathematical Sciences collaborates with the School of Education in offering the 3/2 or combined program described below.
COMBINED PROGRAM in MATHEMATICS (BA) and MASTER of ARTS in TEACHING (MAT) in MATHEMATICS ADOLESCENCE EDUCATION
This program combines the undergraduate program in mathematics (BA) and the master of arts in teaching program (MAT). The combined program provides an opportunity for a limited number of outstanding liberal arts students to graduate in five years with a mathematics BA and an MAT degree. The number of required mathematics courses in this program is the same as for the BA and MAT degrees done separately.
There follows a sample course sequence for the Combined Mathematics BA/MAT Program. Students who are interested in this program should meet with the MAT Mathematics Coordinator in the School of Education and the MAT Advisor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences early in the sophomore year to assure that all requirements are being met in a timely manner and to learn about applying for the MAT component of the program.

Notes:
The courses which double count for MAT required courses and BA electives are denoted by a *.
The number of mathematics courses in the combined program is the same as that for the BA and MAT done separately.
This is a sample course sequence. Variations are possible with regard to the undergraduate courses, as long as all requirements are met.
