Minor in Mathematics/Secondary Middle Level Endorsement

About

Completion of this minor, the General Degree Completion Requirements for Education, Secondary, and a major field of study satisfies the state requirements for a middle-level mathematics teaching endorsement (grade levels 4-9).

This minor can be completed for an add-on Middle-Level Mathematics Endorsement. The completion of MATH 208 satisfies the university Mathematical Reasoning competency/proficiency requirement.

Notes:

  • All candidates for certification must pass the NES subject matter test to receive an endorsement for certification purposes.
