About Bachelor of Mathematics Education: Secondary Education

This professional degree program prepares students for teaching mathematics at the secondary level. The program is coordinated with the education department's teacher certification programs. Students may complete the degree requirements for the secondary option with full teacher certification in either four or five years.

Students electing the four-year option leading to secondary school certification must plan for one semester of student teaching (EDUC 694C Supervised Teaching/Mathematics) in their senior year; this requires careful planning with your program adviser to accommodate the scheduling of required MATH courses. Requirements for admission to student teaching include receiving credit for EDUC 500 and a minimum cumulative 2.8 GPA.

The five-year program includes a year-long teaching internship in the fifth year. The internship requires admission into a UNH Department of Education graduate program that leads to certification. See Education, College of Liberal Arts.
