PORTLAND STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS
Advising for BS/BA Math Majors
See an adviser as early in your program as possible. Mathematics advisers can also help you determine the best placement for you as you begin your math program.
-
All majors are encouraged to include some statistics in their undergraduate program.
-
STAT 451-2: Statistics for Engineers and Scientists is available for elective 400-level credit, although it cannot be used as the required 400-level sequence.
-
MTH 481-2 Probability/Statistics for Mathematics Teachers is a 400- level sequence for the Secondary Education Option only. But it could be used as a 400-level elective for the mathematics major.
Some things to keep in mind:
-
Register as soon as possible for math courses. Our 300-level courses fill up quickly.
-
If you are closed out of a course because you do not meet the pre-requisites, but believe you can attempt the class contact the instructor.
-
You may take up to four MTH/STAT courses for the major using the Pass/No Pass grade option.
-
You MUST apply to graduate two quarters before you actually graduate.
-
Visit a Math Adviser to work out a schedule for at least the next two quarters. Plan ahead.
-
High achieving Math/Stat. students may pursue the Departmental Honors Option. If you are interested contact a mathematical sciences undergraduate adviser for more information.
-
For those planning on teaching at the high school level, please see Prof. Jeanette Palmiter or Prof. Jennifer Noll for the GTEP Departmental Recommendation. Contact the School of Education for information on application requirements to GTEP including PRAXIS exams.
