The Department of Mathematics offers five degree programs
designed to meet the needs of students interested in mathematics. There is no application deadline for application to our program. A student can simply schedule an appointment with an advisor to declare their major, once they have met the admission requirements. Please see the individual degree programs for admission requirements.
Please visit us in our office: C-36 Padelford, or call us at (206) 543-6830.
- Bachelor of Science in Mathematics - Comprehensive Option
For students who plan to do graduate study in mathematics or those who prefer a more theoretical background in mathematics.
In addition to taking courses in real analysis, geometry, complex
analysis and modern algebra, students must satisfy an elective
requirement. The Department offers a variety of areas of study, including combinatorics, differential equations,
dynamical systems, number theory, probability, optimization
and numerical analysis.
To apply, you must complete Math 124, 125, 126, and one 300-level math course; or 134, 135, 136; all with a 2.0 or better.
- Bachelor of Science in Mathematics - Standard Option
For students who want a general background in mathematics. This program allows students the freedom to shape their program.
To apply, you must complete Math 124, 125, 126, and one 300-level math course; or 134, 135, 136; all with a 2.0 or better.
- Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics - Standard Option
The Standard option is intended for students who are interested in
a non-science degree in Mathematics. Although the requirements for
the degree are more liberal than those of the other options,
we recommend choosing electives with the idea of gaining more knowlege in a
specific area of mathematics, possibly in conjunction with a
minor in a related area.
To apply, you must complete Math 124, 125, 126, and one 300-level math course; or 134, 135, 136; all with a 2.0 or better.
- Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics - Philosophy Option
The Philosophy option includes courses in both mathematics and philosophy. The math courses introduce the student to mathematical reasoning; the philosophy courses complement this method of reasoning with methods that have arisen within the historical tradition of philosophy. This combination promotes competence in abstract thinking, logical rigor, analysis, expository clarity, and critical writing. A student who studies both mathematics and philosophy will develop skills that are invaluable in almost any area of life, from software development and finance to teaching. Such a student will also be well prepared for entry into professional schools of business, law, and medicine.
To apply, you must complete Math 124, 125, 126, and one 300-level math course; or 134, 135, 136; all with a 2.0 or better.
- Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics - Teacher Preparation
The Teacher Preparation option prepares students for teaching careers
in secondary or middle schools. The majority of these majors go on to
finish a Master's in Teaching.
This option is required of prospective secondary school mathematics
teachers. The University of Washington
Teacher Education Program leads to a Master's in Teaching.
The program integrates course work and field experience for five
quarters of full-time study. Admission is competitive, and
applications are accepted in December for study beginning the
following autumn quarter. For more information concerning the Initial
Teacher Certification Program, contact the Office of Teacher Education
Advising and Certification, 211 Miller Hall, or visit their website to find out about attending one of their information sessions: Info Sessions
To apply, you must complete Math 124, 125, 126, and one 300-level math course; or 134, 135, 136; all with a 2.5 or better.
