The Department of Mathematics is dedicated to teaching and research. Our mission is to provide an exciting place for our undergraduate and graduate students to learn and do research in mathematical sciences. The department prepares students for a wide range of career paths, ranging from academia, the insurance industry, engineering, climatology, medicine, law and business. Our students are capable of assuming leadership roles in a rapidly evolving, knowledge-based, multicultural society. <br>The Four-Year Integrated Mathematics (FYI-Math) teacher credential program is designed for students who are certain about their career choice. For admission, students must be eligible for a course in Basic Skills Written Communication and for MATH 150A, and they should see a teacher preparation or credential advisor in the Department of Mathematics. Upon entering the program in their freshman year, students are assigned to a cohort and for some courses must enroll in a section designated for that cohort. FYI-Math incorporates the requirements for a bachelor's degree in Mathematics (Secondary Teaching option) with the requirements for General Education and the Preliminary Single Subject Credential in Mathematics. Students also will be responsible for passing the Upper Division Writing Proficiency Exam (UDWPE) and the California Basic Educational Skills Test (CBEST). Students enrolled in FYI-Math follow the schedule and sequence of classes listed below. Completion of the FYI-Math program satisfies all GE requirements.
