Bachelor of Science, Secondary Mathematics Four-Year Plan (Odd Year)  

Bachelor of Science, Secondary Mathematics Four-Year Plan (Even Year)  

The Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education (Mathematics Concentration) at Southeastern University equips students with the skills and knowledge needed to instill a strong mathematical foundation in the next generation. The program begins with a thorough analysis of mathematical teaching methods, from fractions and algebra to calculus and trigonometry. You’ll then gain a strong sense of the tools and attitudes needed to teach 6th through 12th-grade students. The degree culminates in the completion of a semester-long student teaching internship, where you’ll plan and teach the curriculum as well as manage and assess learners. 

 

State Approval/Reciprocity

All teacher education programs have met requirements for Florida State Approved Programs.

Students who plan to teach in Florida schools must file an application with the Office of Teacher Certification for the State of Florida and complete the post-degree requirements for the teaching credential.

Students graduating from Florida state-approved teacher certification programs are currently eligible for initial certification to teach in all members of the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education and Certification (NASDTEC), an interstate reciprocity contract allowing certified teachers to obtain teaching jobs in other states and territories. An applicant’s eligibility for certification according to the interstate agreement contract will be determined after the application for a Florida teaching certificate is on file in the Teacher Certification Office.
