Mathematics (Grades 9-12) Certification


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Division of Education

CIP Code: 13.1311

Content areas for secondary certification (9-12) include the following: Business Education, English, Mathematics, Social Science, Speech/Theatre, and Unified Science with an endorsement in either Biology or Chemistry. Post-baccalaureate certification-only students (those who already hold a baccalaureate degree from a college or university with an approved teacher education program) may opt to pursue either the Unified Science certification or the categorical Biology, Chemistry, or General Science certifications. Driver Education is available as an add-on area.

Note: Secondary candidates may opt to complete certification in one or two content areas. In addition, secondary certification may be combined with middle school certification in the same content area, earning subject-specific certification in grades 5-12.

Content area courses are undergraduate-only unless otherwise noted.
