Inclusive Adolescence Education Dual Major

Students Seeking Adolescence Teaching Certification in Mathematics

Students pursuing teaching certification are advised to complete the B.S. inclusive adolescence education major and the B.A. requirements in mathematics, as well as the following specific requirements:

• Inclusive adolescence education students are not required to take MATH 480, but may instead substitute MATH 470.
• Inclusive adolescence education students must take MATH 417 as one of their two required 300+ level electives.
• Inclusive adolescence education major (46)
• The major includes education courses, field experiences, and student teaching, as well as courses for certification in students with disabilities (7-12) and middle school extension in the content area (5–6). See Inclusive Adolescence Education for details. It is strongly recommended that students double-majoring in inclusive adolescence education and mathematics also take PHYS 131C and CSCI 161.
