Mathematics Education
As a student in the Mathematics Education program at Illinois State University, you will be challenged, you will be tested, you will be supported, and you will be rewarded. These and other words only begin to describe what you will experience in our department as a mathematics major seeking certification to teach:
- You will be challenged to extend your knowledge and experience in mathematics through courses taken by students completing other sequences within the department's major as well as through courses in education. You will become a mathematician, and you will become a teacher.
- You will be tested as you strive to meet the standards of excellence established for those becoming mathematics teachers.
- You will be supported by your professors, your advisor, your fellow students, and others who play a role in the success of the program.
- You will be rewarded, not only through a great sense of accomplishment in earning your undergraduate degree and teacher certification, but also through the many career opportunities that await newly certified mathematics teachers.
- You will also have a degree in mathematics which will open many doors if you choose to do something other than teach.
