Degree Fit
Program Preparation
This program is designed for students preparing to teach mathematics at the elementary, middle, or high school levels.
Degree Roadmap
Students will establish a core foundation in their understanding of K-12 mathematics by completing our Fundamental of Elementary Mathematics Series (Math 211, 212, and 213). Students will then continue deepening their content knowledge of K-12 mathematics by completing five Math 481 Topics in Middle and High School Mathematics Series.
Degree Integration
Many students are delighted to find that an Math minor complements their major. Whether a student is getting a degree in Business, Environmental Science, or Education, an Math minor degree can enhance a wide range of field-specific studies and make a graduate more agile and competitive on the job market.
