Adolescence Education: Mathematics (7-12)

Adolescence Education: Mathematics (7-12) at SUNY Cortland is a bachelor’s program designed to prepare students for teaching mathematics in grades 7-12. The program provides a foundation in mathematics and professional preparation for teaching, with opportunities to think critically, reason logically, and solve problems. Students can also work toward dual certification in both mathematics and physics.

Professional preparation courses introduce different teaching and assessment strategies. Students put these skills into practice during a semester of student teaching in their senior year. Training takes place with dedicated mathematics classrooms, including a mathematics computer classroom and a smart board-equipped mathematics classroom. Students also have institutional memberships in the Mathematical Association of America and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

This program leads to careers such as mathematics teacher in high school or junior high school, curriculum coordinator, and educational administrator. Students also have the option to pursue other careers if they decide not to teach.
