Pre-Mathematics Education (MTHED-AA)

PROGRAM GOAL: The purpose of this program is to prepare students for a career in teaching secondary school mathematics. The four year degree will lead to Florida teacher certification. Math Education is a limited access program at most Florida universities. For example, Florida State University requires a 2.5 GPA in the A.A. degree and a score of 960 on the SAT or a 20 on the ACT. In addition to the FSU College of Education criteria, the following also must be met: 1) Complete Calculus II with a "C" or better; 2) a 2.5 GPA; and 3) approval by the department. Students are encouraged to be familiar with the admissions requirements at the university they plan to attend. Students must successfully complete the CLAST exam rather than alternative demonstration of competency. The State of Florida teacher certification requires a thorough background check by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for all pre-education majors.
