Mathematics 5-Adult
Teaching changes lives. It is a rewarding profession that makes a difference. WVUteach is an innovative program uniting in-depth science and mathematics education with teacher preparation. Science and Mathematics teachers are some of the most sought after high school teachers.
WVUteach is designed to give undergraduate students the opportunity to explore the profession of teaching in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and math) in a hands-on way. In their very first semester in the program, students will have the opportunity to develop and teach a lesson in a local classroom. WVUteach allows students to complete a rigorous degree in any STEM field and earn a secondary teaching certification in tandem with the 4-year degree in mathematics or science. Students earn one degree, with an additional career option. WVUteach is designed to give the essential tools to forge change in the next generation.
In WVUteach, students take the same courses as students in non-teaching options, with slight variations. They are able to compete with students in the non-teaching option for the same jobs and graduate programs in their field. Students thinking about graduate school should always speak to the Graduate Advisor for the program to determine the coursework expected for applicants.
For more information on licensure requirements, please visit our webpage (http://WVUteach.wvu.edu) and schedule an appointment with a WVUteach advisor.
Students seeking Mathematics 5-Adult teaching certification complete the Mathematics B.A. or B.S. major requirements and the following courses (36 hours). The WVUteach curriculum can be completed within the 120 hours required for graduation with a B.A. or B.S. in Mathematics:
