The Department of Secondary Education and the Department of Mathematics jointly offer a program for students who plan to teach mathematics in grades 7 through 12. Additional information may be obtained from the Department of Secondary Education or the Department of Mathematics. Adolescence education (grades 7-12) and special subject programs are writing-intensive. Students should consult a counselor as early as possible to plan their program.

All mathematics courses offered to satisfy the requirements for a major in mathematics teacher must be completed with a grade of C-, or higher. Unless otherwise specified in this Bulletin, any mathematics course used to satisfy the prerequisite for an advanced elective must be completed with a grade of C- or higher.

This program reflects changes in teacher certification requirements recently implemented by the New York State Education Department. Degree programs in Secondary Education include a major in an appropriate department of the college. Completion of an adolescence education program as part of a major in English, one of the appropriate social sciences, mathematics, or one of the sciences qualifies students for New York State initial certification in Secondary Education for grades 7 through 12. Students qualifying for the initial certification in adolescence education may obtain an extension to teach English, social studies, mathematics, or one of the sciences in grades 5 and 6 by taking Secondary Education 3454.
