Mathematics, B.S.

Mission

A Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics provides a strong foundational core for students who wish to pursue graduate studies in pure or applied mathematics; to pursue a career in applied mathematics (e.g., statistics, computer science, operations research, and actuarial mathematics) immediately after obtaining a B.S.; or to teach mathematics in middle school and high school. The courses taken to satisfy the degree requirements are taught viewing mathematics as part of God's creation, and there is a concentrated effort to integrate faith and learning.

Degree Program

A Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics is offered upon completion of the University baccalaureate and the mathematics major in one of the concentrations. All mathematics concentrations must include 24 upper-division credits.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, students will be able to:

  1. Think critically, solve problems, and prove theorems in the abstract (ULO 1).
  2. Apply mathematical theory, problem solve, and use math-related technology in real-world contexts (ULO 1).
  3. Communicate mathematical ideas effectively, both verbally and in writing (ULO 1).
  4. Articulate the implications of a biblical worldview concerning mathematics (ULO 2 and 3).

Each Program Learning Outcome (PLO) listed above references at least one of the University Learning Outcomes (ULO 1, 2, 3), which may be found in the General Information section of this catalog.

Curriculum Requirements

Mathematics majors meet the Core Curriculum requirement of 6 credits in integration seminar and mathematics within the major. The foreign language requirement is met by two years of high school study in the same language or four credits of college foreign language.

Mathematics: Secondary Instruction 

Students who wish to prepare to teach mathematics at the secondary level should select this concentration to work toward a preliminary single-subject credential.

  • Biola's Mathematics Secondary Instruction program is a Commission-approved subject matter program. Completion of the subject matter program does not lead to a credential but it may be used to meet the subject matter competency requirement for a teaching credential. The Professional Teacher Preparation Program leading to a California Teaching Credential at Biola University is subject to change in response to new legislation. Please see a credential analyst in the School of Education for current information on completing the requirements for a teaching credential, including the CSET subject matter waiver program. Students must consult with both their major advisor and a School of Education advisor.

  • Students who wish to prepare to teach mathematics at the secondary level should select this concentration to work toward a preliminary single-subject credential. Completion of the program requirements will prepare students with the content knowledge necessary to teach mathematics in departmentalized classes, such as those in most middle schools and high schools. Students who meet all requirements and pass the necessary classes with a grade of C or above and with a B- or above in LEDU 433 will be granted a waiver to satisfy the California subject matter requirements to obtain a teaching credential in mathematics. 

In addition to the program courses above, this concentration must complete the following.

The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing requires that a teaching credential candidate must have completed a minimum 2-credit course that covers the U.S. Constitution or fulfill this requirement by examination. Biola University students may complete this requirement by taking either HIST 200 or POSC 225 with a grade of C or better. Students receiving AP college credit for either HIST 200 or POSC 225 will also meet this requirement. Transfer coursework must be reviewed by a credential analyst in the School of Education. Either course fulfills the History Core Curriculum requirement. 

2

Fulfills the Behavioral Science Core Curriculum requirement.

See Core Curriculum Program section for details.

NOTE: The course sequence table is designed by the major department and is one way that the classes will work out properly in sequence for your major. However, there are alternative or flexible ways to rotate some of the classes within the same year/level and sometimes between year levels. Please contact your major department advisor to discuss flexible alternatives in scheduling the sequence of your classes.

Taking coursework during the summer session may also be an option to accelerate your degree path.
