Liberal Studies Mathematics Concentration For ITEP or Track 1

Liberal Studies

College of Education

This concentration is designed for people preparing to complete a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. It meets all core and concentration requirements in mathematics for Liberal Studies majors who intend to teach in elementary or middle school or wish to become a mathematics specialist in elementary or middle school. Completion of this Concentration in Mathematics also fulfills the state's requirement for a Supplementary Authorization in Introductory Mathematics which would allow you to teach mathematics in grades K-9. A student who has finished a mathematics concentration may file for this Authorization when filing for their Multiple Subject Credential. See the Liberal Studies Concentration Advisor in the Mathematics Department for more information.
