OVERVIEW

Mathematics with Initial Teacher Licensure

Students within our Mathematics major can pursue initial licensure as high school Mathematics teachers. This program provides students with both a broad introduction to high school teaching and specific instruction in the theory, research and practice of secondary Mathematics teaching.  Students engage in field-based experiences in the school setting supervised by our faculty through on-site pre-practicum experiences coupled with each teaching course and a formal teaching practicum as the capstone experience.

Students pursuing this option will have to fulfill the degree requirements for the mathematics major with some restricted electives, as well as the requirements for initial teacher licensure in Secondary Education.  The requirements are described below:

Required Courses in Mathematics
MATH 2300 Calculus I
MATH 2400 Calculus II
MATH 2600 Linear Algebra
MATH 3000 Geometry
MATH 3300 Calculus III
MATH 3400 Calculus IV
MATH 4200 Probability and Statistics I
