*You must apply for admission to secondary teacher education in order to enroll in these upper-division education courses.

 

To complete the degree program, the teacher candidate must accumulate credits to earn an endorsement to teach in one or more areas. A Mathematics Secondary Education major may seek a single field endorsement in Mathematics (at least 45 credits) or combine an endorsement in Mathematics (minimum 30 credits) with a teaching endorsement in a second area. The following teaching endorsement minors are strongly recommended for students seeking a dual endorsement: Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Earth Science, or Physics.
