SACS Reaffirmation
| Objective | Accepted To Grad School | |
| Students who receive BA degrees and who apply for graduate school will be accepted. Associated Goals: Continue Study |
| Indicator | List Accepted To Grad School List of students who received a BA in Mathematics and were accepted into graduate school. |
| Criteria | 50% grad school 50% of students who apply for graduate school are accepted. |
| Finding | 50% grad school Data not available. |
| Action | Acceptance into grad school The department will institute a plan to track graduates once they complete their degree. |
| Objective | Compatible With MAA | |
| Curriculum for the BA degree is in agreement with the curriculum recommendations from the MAA. Associated Goals: Continue Study |
| Indicator | Compare BA With MAA Compare BA program requirements with those of the MAA. |
| Criteria | 90% MAA BA program offerings are 90% in agreement with the MAA recommendations. |
| Finding | Calculus preparation Students were unprepared for calculus; less than 50% of Calculus I students were achieving an A-B-C grade. |
| Finding | Preparation for higher math Many students are not prepared for the abstract reasoning in higher math courses. |
| Action | Prereq change for calculus The prerequisite for Calculus I (MTH 142) were raised to a "C or better" in MTH 163, trigonometry. |
| Action | Prereq change for higher math Students entering higher Algebra and Analysis classes must now complete MTH 364 with a C or better |
| Objective | Increase Number | |
| Increase the number of students seeking a BA in mathematics. Associated Goals: Continue Study |
| Indicator | Math Major Numbers Number of students with a BA degree plan in Mathematics. |
| Criteria | math majors increase The number of students seeking a BA degree in Mathematics will increase by 5%. |
| Finding | Increase in mathematics majors The number of students seeking a BA in mathematics increased from 3 to 4 over the previous year. |
| Action | Increasing the number of mathematics majors Students seeking a BA are rare because of the foreign language requirements cuts down on the number of mathematics classes. Still, the department will recruit with both the BS and BA in mind. |
| Objective | Integrating Technology | |
| Technology will be integrated into the BA curriculum, including proficiency with graphing calculators and at least one mathematics software package. Associated Goals: Continue Study |
| Indicator | Technology & Syllabi Information on technology being used will be taken from course syllabi. |
| Criteria | 100% technology 100% of non proof-based courses use appropriate technology. |
| Objective | Undergraduate Research | |
| Undergraduate student presentations given in a conference environment. Associated Goals: Increase Math Majors |
| Indicator | Student Presentations Undergraduate student presentations given in a conference environment. |
| Criteria | Student presentations At least 12 students will present the talks based on their explorations or research. At least four of these talks will be off-campus. |
| Finding | Student presentations Numerous students made presentations on and off campus. Twelve traveled to give talks. |
| Action | Student presentations Pursue external funding to enable undergraduates to obtain scholarships in support of their research. |
