University of the Cumberlands
Department of Mathematics and Physics
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE WITH A MAJOR IN MATHEMATICS-- 41 hours as follows:
6 hours of Mathematics Electives from: MATH 331 or above (except MATH 332 and 333).
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BACHELOR OF ARTS WITH A MAJOR IN MATHEMATICS- to include the requirements for the B.S. plus a foreign language through the intermediate level. REQUIREMENTS FOR A MINOR IN MATHEMATICS--21 semester hours as follows:
Mathematics Electives 9 hours from: MATH 331 or above (except MATH 332 and 333).
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION (SECONDARY CERTIFICATION)--41 hours
In addition to the above required major, the student who does not have prior working knowledge of graphing calculators is encouraged to take the graphing calculator course, MATH 211 Numerical Techniques. Students pursuing the mathematics major are also encouraged to take additional mathematics courses selected from the following:
Students seeking secondary certification must also take 33 hours of professional education courses. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE WITH A MAJOR IN PHYSICS-- 51 hours as follows:
18 hours of PHYS 300+ electives REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BACHELOR OF ARTS WITH A MAJOR IN PHYSICS-- Completion of the requirements for the Bachelor of Science with a major in physics plus a foreign language through the intermediate level. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE WITH A MAJOR IN PHYSICAL SCIENCE (PHYSICS) LEADING TO SECONDARY CERTIFICATION--
18 hours of PHYS 300+ electives For physical science and earth science, the corresponding lab course must be taken as well. Secondary teacher certification in grades 8-12 also requires 37 semester hours of professional education courses as listed by the Department of Education in the College Catalog. The remaining 38 semester hours of the general education curriculum is listed by the Department of Education in the College Catalog. No second major, minor, or Restricted Electives is required. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE WITH A MAJOR IN APPLIED PHYSICS ENGINEERING DUAL-DEGREE PROGRAM WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY CIVIL, ELECRICAL, MATERIALS, MECHANICAL, AND MINING ENGINEERING AND COMPUTER SCIENCE--
32 semester hours at The University of Kentucky as follows:
The completion of the engineering degree at U.K. nominally takes two years after transfer. A student need not wait to complete the engineering degree to transfer the necessary credit back to Cumberland for completion of the applied physics major. To optimize transfer credit to U.K., a student must consult with a physics advisor before selecting the mathematics electives. The Scientific and Mathematical Awareness section of the General Education Curriculum is fulfilled by courses required elsewhere. The Human and Social Behavior and World Perspective sections of the General Education Curriculum must be coordinated with University Studies requirements at U.K. – a student must consult with a physics advisor before selecting any course in these areas. A student without two years of a single foreign language in high school must take two semesters of French or Spanish. One semester will meet the General Education requirements at Cumberland; the other semester will serve as free-elective hours. Due to prerequisite requirements, a student must complete some introductory engineering courses during U.K.’s eight-week summer session after the junior year at Cumberland. Acceptable courses must have engineering prefixes and meet the degree requirements in the student’s selected program. No more than 6 hours may be at the 200 level with the remainder at 300+ levels.
