Mathematics, BS, Secondary Education Concentration

The program of study for the BS in Mathematics with a Concentration in Secondary Education is designed to prepare the graduate for a career as a certified professional in teaching Mathematics at the secondary level.

Program Learning Outcomes

Graduates of this program will be able to:

1. Apply critical thinking skills to solve problems that can be modeled mathematically.
2. Read and construct mathematical arguments and proofs.
3. Communicate a depth and breadth of mathematical knowledge, both orally and in writing.
