The elementary and middle-level mathematics teaching minor will appeal to you if you are currently enrolled in a major in elementary education, early childhood education, or special education. This minor extends the mathematics requirements of these degrees and prepares you to teach mathematics in grades K-9. The curriculum includes courses in pre-calculus, calculus, algebraic reasoning, geometry/measurement, data analysis/probability, mathematical reasoning, and the pedagogy of mathematics. Many students in this minor are supported through institution-specific scholarships.
An undergraduate student should initiate a Change of Academic Program if they wish to add or remove a minor.
The student obtains a Change of Academic Program form from the Registrar's Office or the department of the new major/minor, secures the signature of the department chair/director (or dean) of any major/minor to be added, and returns the form to the Registrar's Office for processing.
A student must submit the completed form by the Thursday before priority registration if the change is to be made within the current semester. Unless granted a waiver by the department of the new major, the student must meet all current program requirements for graduation.
