Agriculture, College of (renamed College of Food, Agriculture and Environmental Sciences)

The College of Agriculture requires either Math 130 or 148 for all Major programs. In practice, however, many Agriculture majors will need 148 as a prerequisite to physics and other courses. The list below shows which majors can now be done with only 130. Some majors also have additional math requirements, as listed below. An approved data analysis class is also required in each program.

Important note - the College will not accept 116 as a substitute for 130 or 148. Students who have completed 116 and switch to Agriculture will have to take an additional course.

Arts, College of the (including School of Music)

The College offers B.A., B.F.A., B.A.E., B.S.D., B.M., and B.M.E. degrees. The College has degree programs in several departments, including Art; Art Education; Dance; History of Art; Industrial, Interior, and Visual Communication Design; Theatre; and Music. The math requirement will not depend on the department but on the degree the student is pursuing. Students should be advised to double-check all curriculum requirements directly with advisers in the College.

Education, College of

The College of Education delivers most teacher licensure programs as Masters level programs (except Physical Education,
Business Education and Technology Education).  As a result, undergraduate degrees in a subject area will be required for
entry into these graduate/licensure programs and consequently the mathematics requirement will depend upon the under-
graduate major selected.  Several non-teaching programs are available at the undergraduate level.

Undergraduate Education PAES Majors
Sport &Leisure Studies                                                                Placement R or 075 or 104, plus 1 math course >104
