46 courses with the subject MATH, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.

S (3 SH) This course will provide students with an opportunity to participate in work experiences within mathematically related subjects. Students will be involved in a local high school and in Math 101 at Pfeiffer assuming designated servant leadership with specific tasks to be completed during the term. This hands-on experience integrates practical experience with classroom knowledge. Under the supervision of Pfeiffer mathematics faculty and a local schoolteacher, the student will develop a course contract to be agreed upon by the student, mathematics faculty member, and the Chair of the Mathematics Department. The student will be required to keep log time of activities and written reports. The local schoolteacher will also submit a written evaluation at the completion of the internship. Students are expected to complete 90 hours total for the semester credit received. Forty-five hours will be spent teaching Math 101, one class per week, grading and preparing for the lesson plan. Teaching at Pfeiffer will be under the supervision of math faculty. Math faculty must approve all lesson plans. Another forty-five hours will be through Gray Stone Day School. Prerequisite: Math 412. This course does not count toward the math major.
Faculty and students will give talks on topics of interest. Each student will also prepare a research paper.
