Mathematics Fast Track

Students completing the Mathematics Education Fast Track will earn a mathematics major (BA) and secondary teaching credential in mathematics in four years. Below is a SAMPLE schedule for how this might be achieved. Your schedule will probably not end up looking exactly like this depending on the timing of course offerings and if you entered Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ with AP or college credit. What’s shown is the Fast Track schedule. Be aware that you also have the option of completing the Math major over a four-year period, with a fifth year reserved for your teaching credential. Please confer with your Math department advisor as major requirements sometimes change. Pre-requisites for the Education Program are in bold.

The Fast Track is for highly-motivated students who like mathematics. The course schedule is rigorous and requires significant time, planning, and dedication. Students should consider carefully whether this program is a good fit or if the five-year program would be better suited to their college goals.
