General Information/Important changes to be aware of

Students first entering a college or university on or after July 1, 2008 must take an upperdivision writing class for their additional communication credit- these students must take a course from category 2B instead of 2A- MATH EDUCATION: this means speech will not count for additional communication!!! This may not be noted on checksheets, so please be careful! For now, advise Math ed students starting after 6/30/08 to take both speech and a course from Category 2B.
Students need 42 upperdivision credits to graduate- specifically, the General Concentration does not automatically provide 42 upper division credits, so students have to make up the difference with core or elective classes- watch this!
Advising codes are 6 digits and can be found on ARIESWeb when you look up your student.
Math 229 is no longer a prerequisite for MATH 369 starting FA08.
Math 281 or 281 A1 is the experimental Introduction to Mathematical Thinking course. Please encourage all students who have taken Math 160 to take this class FA08. It can substitute for both math 192 and STAT 192.
Concentrations will be revised over the next year, so please be alert for changes.

Additional information for Math Education

Important things to remember:

4 semesters are required for education courses(see Phases below)
Student teaching takes an entire semester- no other classes
Need to have 30 credits before starting education classes
Watch prerequisites
See website below for background check- very important information
Several Math and Education classes run in the summer
Grade of C or better is required in all MATH, CS, STAT, EDUC classes (no C-)
MATH 330 is FALL only
MATH 470 is SPRING only (careful if student plans to student teach in the spring)
MATH 425 is FALL only (careful if student plans to student teach in fall)
EDUC 464 is SPRING only (phase II or phase III)
EDUC 450 must be taken immediately before student teaching
EDUC 275 also fulfilled U.S. Public Values Core requirement- so may help with transition to new core

Teacher Licensing Website: http://opc.colostate.edu/Licensure/

Phases: (cannot be taken concurrently or out of order.)
Phase I:	EDUC 275 and EDUC 340
(Become admitted into the licensing program)
Phase II:	EDUC 331, EDUC 350, EDUC 386
Phase III:	EDUC 450, EDUC 486J
(Pass State Licensing Exam)
Phase IV:	EDUC 485 B, EDUC 493a, EDUC 493b (student teaching semester)

Math Minor

A minor requires at least 21 credits, 12 of which have to be upper division and 12 of which have to be in the department.

Math minor requirements:

Calculus sequence worth 7-8 credits (Math 160 and 161 or Math 155 and Math 255)
9 credits of upper division (300 or higher) Math, excluding Math 315
6 additional credits including upper division Math, Stat or CS, or Math 261 or Math 229- note that Math 261 and 229 give 6 credits, but will not satisfy the 12 upper division credit requirement.
