Mathematics, B.S.Ed.
The Bachelor of Science in Education for Mathematics Majors provides training in Secondary Mathematics Education and is the degree program for prospective teachers of mathematics in secondary schools. Students receive thorough mathematical content knowledge and pedagogical training to prepare them to teach. In order to graduate in 4 years, students in the B.S.E. program must complete all their academic coursework in 7 semesters, as their final semester is spent in a full-time student teaching field placement. Successful graduates will be certified to teach mathematics in grades 7 through 12 in Pennsylvania and can easily transfer this certification to any state.
