Mathematics Education BS

Program Goals: BS Mathematics Education

1. Students will demonstrate breadth and depth in their knowledge of undergraduate mathematics.
2. Students will have teaching-related work experience during their college years.
3. Graduates will be successful in obtaining employment or acceptance into graduate or professional programs.
4. Graduates who accept teaching jobs or enter graduate programs will be successful in completing the first year.  Those who enter graduate programs will eventually complete a master’s or doctoral degree.
5. Students will demonstrate a commitment to Jesus, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and service to others.
6. Graduated and student teachers will demonstrate a good understanding of the mathematics that they are teaching and the ability to communicate it clearly.
