In addition to the above TAS School Core and Mathematics major requirements, students in the Teacher Certification Concentration must take professional and general education courses and Student Teaching not included in the minimum credits. For a complete listing of these requirements, inquire at the Teacher Education Office.

  Minimum Major Credits at Ramapo: 56 crs.

Mathematics majors are encouraged to take more than the minimum requirements of the major and to study foreign languages.

**For students who need additional preparation in mathematics before entering SMTH 111 Calculus I or SMTH 217 Discrete Structures, SMTH 110 Precalculus is offered. Admittance directly into SMTH 111 Calculus I or SMTH 217 Discrete Structures without college credit in Precalculus requires the successful completion of the Calculus/Discrete Structures Entrance test administered by TAS.

TAS School Core Requirements
