MATHEMATICS CERTIFICATION (K-12)
While all bachelor programs require a minimum of 128 credits and a 2.00 cumulative GPA, the New Jersey Department of Education requires a 2.75 cumulative GPA to be certified; this state requirement will change to 3.00 as of September 1, 2014. Students in this track must complete a MATH major with accompanying EDUC courses as shown. A grade of “C” or better is required in all content courses and a B- or better in professional education courses. A minimum SAT score of 600 is needed for entrance into MATH 2215. Students below this score will need additional coursework beyond this prescribed path that may extend the amount of time needed to earn a degree with certification. Additional requirements are needed to attain teacher licensure. Consult with the EDUC Program for application and licensure requirements. “The student is responsible for ensuring that all graduation requirements are met” (Bulletin). Consult with your preceptors (EDUC & MATH) and/or Academic Advising on a regular basis.
