Mathematics Education Major
Bachelor of Science Degree
Learning mathematics is studying God’s thoughts after Him, for all mathematical laws are
God’s laws. Our knowledge of God’s absolute mathematical laws may be incomplete or
at times in error, but that is a human frailty and thus does not indicate relativity in
mathematical laws. Man’s task is to search out the laws of the universe.
A student with a high school precalculus course may begin his mathematics sequence with MA 221
Calculus I and take two upper-level mathematics courses in lieu of MA 122 College Algebra II and MA
131 College Trigonometry. EG 241 may be taken as a mathe matics elective (minimum grade of
“C”).
Academic Program Fee: $90 per semester or $22.50 per payment

* If your mathematics sequence needs to start with MA 122 and/or MA 131, you may count them as
mathematics electives. If you begin with MA 211 your freshman year, we recommend you take MA 321 and MA
401 for your mathematics electives.
‡ At least 2 hours out of 6 hours of BI/BB electives must have a BI course number.
