Major in Mathematics with Mathematics Education Concentration

The goals of this program are to provide students with broad-based and coherent preparation in the various disciplines that constitute the mathematical sciences and the pedagogical knowledge of mathematics needed to begin a career as a middle or high school mathematics teacher.  

Obtaining this degree, however, does not require that you obtain licensure to be a middle or high school mathematics teacher.  This concentration also prepares students for continued study of the mathematical sciences at the graduate level.
