The Department of Mathematics offers the B.S. of Mathematics and the B.S. of Mathematics with Teacher Certification. Both programs require 46 credit hours of mathematics (starting with Calculus I). Students who are certain they want to persue teaching high school mathematics as a career are advised to complete the teacher certification program. However, teaching is still a definite possibility for those who do not complete the teacher certification program.

Below the degree requirements are listed for both of these degree options:

5. Eighteen semester hours of approved electives in a related discipline or disciplines: at least nine semester hours must be at the upper division and at least six semester hours must be completed at UT Tyler.
   
   **Students desiring to pursue graduate study in mathematics should complete a, b, c, and d of part “2.”
   

MATHEMATICS AS A MINOR
A student may choose mathematics as a minor to satisfy bachelor degree programs with a major in another field. This program requires a total of 18 hours of mathematics, including differential and integral calculus. At least nine semester hours of upper-division mathematics must be completed, including MATH 3425.

TEACHER CERTIFICATION
All students wishing to be certified to teach mathematics (4-8 or 8-12) in Texas public schools must complete the Academic Foundations, Professional Development and required mathematics courses (8-12 requires completion of the B.S. in Mathematics), and meet the requirements described in the Certification section of the College of Education and Psychology section of this catalog.
