    Mathematics (B.S.) with Teacher Certification

    The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with Teacher Certification is aligned to national standards established by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) along with state guidelines provided by the Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GaPSC). As recommended by these bodies, candidate teachers in the MAED program complete mathematics content coursework that is equivalent to a mathematics major along with an educational component sufficient to grant initial teacher certification upon graduation. 

    Students who elect this major must be admitted to the teacher certification program through the College of Education during Spring semester of their sophomore year.

    Note: You must meet College of Education admission requirements for this program.

    • Course Planning Guide

      A course planning guide is provided below for a mathematics major who takes a statistics minor. Mathematics majors in their first two years should focus on completing the core curriculum, efficiently working through the Key Prerequisites for mathematics content (MATH 2460 and MATH 2800) and beginning 3000-level mathematics content courses. The degree map is a suggestion only. Please discuss your plan of study with your advisor to make sure that you meet all requirements.

      Please note that a minor is required, but the content for the minor is left to the student's choice from current UNG minors. You should speak with an advisor in the content area of your chosen minor (at the latest) during your second year so that you can complete the prerequisites and coursework for that minor.
