Mathematics, Mathematics Education Concentration, B.A.

This concentration prepares students primarily for teaching math in junior high school and high school. (For information on preliminary and professional clear teaching credentials, see Education.)

Degree requirements listed here do not include professional education courses required for the credential.

Students earning this degree may waive CSET assessments before entering the credential program. Before applying to the secondary education credential program, students must meet the prerequisite of 45 hours early field experience or enroll in SED 210 /SED 410 .
