You’ll visit various mathematics classes in local junior and senior high schools and participate in a practicum by teaching math to peers in preparation for the student teaching experience.

Upon successful completion of the program, you’ll earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics. By completing the education program requirements, completing the student teaching experience and passing required certification exams, you will be eligible to apply for your Pennsylvania 7-12 Mathematics teaching certificate.
