Math Education Impact

Math Education

The Department of Computer Science and Mathematics cooperates with the Department of Education in meeting its mission to prepare candidates for a Bachelors of Arts degree in Education with a mathematics teaching specialization for grades 5-adult or a mathematics teaching endorsement for grades 5-9.

Career Opportunities

  • Public, Private, or Online school math teacher
  • Public, Private, or Online school math tutor
  • Advanced degree opportunities in Mathematics and Education fields

Math Education (5-Adult)

Highlight

Students receiving a B.A. in Math Education may also earn a B.S. in Mathematics by taking only two additional courses!

Background

It is expected that students entering the 5-Adult program are ready to take Calculus I. Students without this background may be required to complete appropriate lower-level courses in addition to the stated requirements. Students should consult with their advisor concerning credit for prerequisites and/or special examinations for course credit.
