Graduate Degree(s):

As one of the largest instructional units in the University, the Department of Mathematical Sciences offers courses in Mathematics (MATH) for the matriculation of a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Degree in Mathematics, a Data Science concentration, a Certificate in Data Science, and a minor in Mathematics, and a minor in Data Science for students majoring in other academic disciplines at the University.

The Department provides major support to the overall undergraduate curriculum at Texas Southern University since every undergraduate degree or program of study requires the completion of at least three semester credit hours in Mathematics for graduation. Instructional facilities and the Department Office (Room 111K) are located on the first floor of the Science Building. Faculty members are also housed on the first floor of the Science Building.

The mission of the Department of Mathematics is to make all students who matriculate through Texas Southern University aware of the role that Mathematics plays in the modern world and to allow them to develop sufficient skills in utilizing the processes and techniques of Mathematics to pursue their chosen fields of study, as well as to deal with mathematical processes on a daily basis. In the realization of this mission, students are prepared for a variety of careers, for negotiating the rigors of various curricula of study that are heavily dependent upon the understanding of mathematical processes, and for graduate study and research.

The goals of the Mathematics program are the following:

  • The graduate will have developed learning skills and acquired a firm foundation of knowledge of fundamental mathematical concepts, methods, reasoning and language sufficient to support further academic work or a career in area that requires mathematical understanding.

  • The graduate will exhibit understanding of advanced mathematical concepts and analytical skills, and also utilize appropriate technology to develop models for solving problems and analyzing new situations, both in mathematics and in areas that use mathematics.

The Mathematics program Student Learning Outcomes are to:

  • The student will exhibit understanding of advanced mathematical concepts and analytical skills.
  • The student will master the essentials of calculus sufficiently to apply those skills in more advanced mathematics classes.
  • The student will use mathematical modeling to solve problems from fields such as natural sciences, social sciences, business and engineering.
  • The student will apply knowledge relating to set theory, functions, and equivalence relation to advanced mathematics courses.
  • The student will write mathematical proofs when required in upper level and advanced mathematics courses.
  • The student will understand the concepts of random variable, distribution functions, and theoretical versus, simulated probability and apply them to real world situations.

Requirements for both the B.S. in Mathematics and the minor in Mathematics are summarized below. 

Students wishing to pursue either a major (B.S.) or minor in Mathematics must first be admitted to the University, must satisfy TSI Assessment requirements, must eradicate deficiencies assessed at the time of admission through the University Testing Center, and must petition the Department for admission as TSI Assessment requirements or equivalent are completed. Once admitted to the Department, students are assigned an official advisor who must be consulted on a semester or term basis for schedule approval and status verification for progression toward graduation.

All completed Mathematics courses that are designated for a major in Mathematics must be completed with a grade of “C” or better. Grades of “C-” are unacceptable.

In selecting a minor, Mathematics majors should seek detailed advisement from their designated advisors because the selection of a minor having representative courses in the core curriculum of study could impact the total number of credits required.

All courses taken in fulfillment of a minor in a non-mathematics discipline by a student pursuing a B.S. in Mathematics must be completed with a grade of “C” or better, where grades of “C- ” are unacceptable. This is also the case for students in other disciplines seeking the minor in Mathematics. 

In no case will students qualify for graduation at the undergraduate level with fewer than 120 semester credit hours satisfactorily completed.

An exit examination is required of all graduating seniors pursuing the B.S. in Mathematics.

All students pursuing a minor in Mathematics must have a cumulative average of “C” or better in the courses required for the minor.  In no case will a student be granted a minor in Mathematics with fewer than 20 semester credit hours satisfactorily completed. 

Individuals interested in seeking certification for teaching Mathematics in the public schools of Texas should contact the Teacher Certification Officer in the College of Education at Texas Southern University for application instructions. Mathematics courses used in the certification process must be approved through the Department.
