In the College of Arts and Sciences the degree programs have been designed so as to enable students to obtain a minor concentration in one of many interdisciplinary areas. Thus, for example, by prudently utilizing course requirements and/or electives a student majoring in mathematics may obtain a minor in many other interdisciplinary areas. Generally in the B.S. degree program, the minor could be in the areas of Computer Science, Chemistry, Biology, or Psychology. Generally in the B.A. degree program, the minor could be in the areas of the Social Sciences, Humanities, Business, or Accounting. A faculty member will work closely with each student in planning his/her program.
The College of Education offers programs leading to the bachelor's degree and to New York State Teacher Certification. A program leading to provisional certification (permanent certification is awarded by the state only after completion of a master's degree and teaching experience) for grades 7-12 is offered in mathematics. At the elementary level, the Elementary Education program is designed to qualify students for Elementary (PreK-6) provisional certification and the Inclusion Elementary Education program is for certification in both Elementary (PreK-6) and Special Education (PreK-12). Reciprocity agreements for teacher certification exist between New York and other states, particularly those adjacent to New York State. Students interested in teacher certification in other states or the Letter of Eligibility in Ontario should consult the Dean of Education.
Work study positions are available in a Math Lab to provide tutorial service for all Niagara students.
