The certificate in middle-level math teaching is offered as an add-on endorsement; it can be earned concurrently with a standard teaching certificate or added to an already completed teaching certificate. To teach math in middle school or high school, students must earn a bachelor’s degree in mathematics and complete the core professional education coursework with the College of Education to earn teacher certification. As a math major with a teaching goal, you'll follow the secondary teaching track. Along the way, if you wish, you can incorporate courses from these specialization areas: Actuarial science Applied statistics Computational mathematics Mathematical modeling Operations research Theoretical Mathematics

Math teachers may teach in public or private schools worldwide. Further study opens up possibilities as a coach, counselor, principal, or other administrative positions in schools.
