Because the B.S. in Secondary Education (teaching major in mathematics) requires a substantial amount of mathematics, it is straightforward to complete a B.S. in Mathematics as well as the B.S. in Secondary Education by completing the latter degree and taking several additional courses. Likewise, it is straightforward to complete the B.S. in Mathematics along with the B.S. in Computer Science (Mathematics/Science Option), by completing the latter degree and taking several additional courses. Students pursuing either option will receive a double degree (not a double major) by completing all required courses for each degree.  Please contact the Mathematics Department advisor for more information.
