Integrated Math & Science Mathematics
Degree: B.A
A BA in integrated mathematics and science with a concentration in mathematics will receive a broad education across multiple scientific disciplines with a focus in mathematics. Fields of scientific study include biology, chemistry, computer science, and physics. Advanced mathematics courses make this major ideal for a student pursuing a career in mathematics or science education at a secondary level.
-Foundation: Acquire knowledge in mathematics and scienses with specialization in one specific field: Mathematics , Biology, Environmental Sciences, or Chemistry.
-Preparedness: Develop knowledge and skills required for successful entry into the job market and/or further studies.
-Professional skills: Professional skills: Develop the ability to collect, organize, interpret and evaluate scientific information. Learn to use the library and scientific field interest’s specific data bases.
-Demonstrate ability to critically analyze scientific information, including experimental data in primary source material.
-Demonstrate ability to draw valid conclusions from experiments.
-Demonstrate ability to communicate clearly in writing and orally.
The Integrated Math and Science program offers degrees at the BA level. The programs of study combine a strong foundation in mathematics and sciences with further specialization in one specific field. This approach offers a depth of study in one field similar to a BS degree, while providing a well-rounded education in complementary fields in science and mathematics.
-Students should be able to effectively express themselves in written and oral form on a range of topics involving math and science;
-Students should be able to demonstrate the ability to think critically about issues in the sciences, math, and technology;
-Students should be able to locate and use information for the preparation of presentations and papers;
-Students should be able to demonstrate the ability to integrate knowledge and ideas in a coherent and meaningful manner and to communicate that knowledge and those ideas to others orally and in writing.
-Students should be able to work effectively with others on a collaborative project; assess ethical issues in the sciences and mathematics.
