The Department provides major support to the overall undergraduate curriculum at Texas Southern University since every undergraduate degree or program of study requires the completion of, at least three semester credit hours in Mathematics for graduation.

Students who are interested in the Master of Science Degree in Mathematics should consult the graduate School Bulletin of Texas Southern University for detailed information.

Students wishing to pursue the B.S. Degree in Mathematics are required to declare a minor in a second academic discipline. All courses completed that are designated for the minor selected must be completed with grades of "C" or better, where grades of "C-" are unacceptable.

In selecting a minor, majors should seek detailed advisement from their designated advisors because the selection of a minor having representative courses in the core curriculum of study could impact the total number of credits, required.

In no case will students qualify for graduation at the undergraduate level with fewer than 124 semester credit hours satisfactorily completed.

As is the case for courses designated in the minor in other disciplines selected by students pursuing the B.S. in Mathematics, grades of "C" or better, where grades of "C-" are unacceptable, are required in all Mathematics courses designated for the B.S. in Mathematics.

Students wishing to pursue either a major (B.S.) or minor in Mathematics musts:

1. Gain admittance to the University.
2. Satisfy TASP requirements.
3. Must eradicate deficiencies assessed at the time of admission through the General University Academic Center (GUAC).
4. Must petition the Department for admission as TASP requirements are completed.

Once admitted to the Department, students are each assigned an official advisor who must be consulted on a semesterly or term basis for schedule approval and status verification for progress toward graduation.

An exit examination are required of all graduating seniors pursuing the B.S. in mathematics.

Individuals interests in seeking certification for teaching Mathematics in the public schools of Texas should contact the Director of Certification in the College of Education at Texas Southern University for application instructions. Mathematics courses used in the certification process must be approved through the Department.

For the minor in Mathematics, 24 semester credit hours are required through enrollment in the following courses: MATH 241 (4 credits); MATH 242 (4 credits); MATH 314 (4 Credits); MATH 330 (3 credits); MATH 331 (3 credits); either MATH 333 (3 credits) or MATH 439 (3 credits); and one additional 300-level or 400-level MATH course (3 credits). The minimum grade requirement for each of these courses is referenced above.

In summary, students must first gain admission to the University; must meet their TASP responsibility; and must petition the Department for admission as TASP requirements are met. Upon admission, each student is assigned an official advisor, and an exit examination is required of graduating seniors.
