BS in Secondary Education Mathematics:
The Bachelor of Science (BS) in Secondary Education Mathematics program is designed to prepare individuals to teach mathematics grades 6-12 (middle and high school). The program provides an educational pathway for students who have earned an associate in arts degree to include specific math and education prerequisites. Upon graduation, students will meet the mandated state teaching requirements, including teacher certification exams.
Program Highlights: The BS in secondary education program includes courses in teaching students with English as a second language, students with exceptionalities, reading competency, classroom management, assessment and integrated approaches to teaching methodologies at the middle and high school levels. Field experience requirements are progressive in nature, building upon previous semester experiences. Students will observe teachers in the field, teach lessons through the practicum courses, and complete a full-time teaching internship in their final semester. Courses are offered for full and part time students, with blended technology components where applicable. Students will complete three upper division (9 credit hours) of mathematics coursework through Florida Gulf Coast University.
