For Secondary Education Students in LSOE

Students are required to complete a major in the College of Arts and Sciences either in a science or in one of the humanities.

For students choosing to major in a Science (Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, or Physics)

Please see the pages listed under the College of Arts and Sciences for your math requirements in these majors.

For students choosing a Humanities major (Classical Humanities, English, French, History, Latin, or Spanish)

You are exempted from the Mathematics Core Curriculum Requirement if you received a score of 4 or higher on either the Calculus AB or BC placement exam, and the result has been recorded on your transcript.

Otherwise, you must complete at least one Mathematics core-level course. Any courses found in the following list will satisfy your Math requirement:

• MT004 Finite Probability and Applications
• MT005 Linear Mathematics
• MT007 Ideas in Mathematics
• Any Calculus course (MT100 Calculus I or higher)

Note

• For students who are mathematically inclined and have a strong mathematical preparation, we encourage you to consider fulfilling your core math requirement with a Calculus course. Please visit the Calculus area of our website to explore your options for taking Calculus.
• Generally, the earlier you take a Math course, the better. We suggest that you complete your Math requirement no later than junior year, unless there's reason to do otherwise. On the other hand, core-level courses fill up rather quickly with juniors and sophomores, so you may not have a realistic registration opportunity to take a Math course until sophomore year.
• If you choose to take a Calculus course, we recommend that you take it in freshman year.
