Pre-College Mathematics Teaching Concentration

If you decide that you are interested in secondary mathematics certification early in your college career, you should contact the School of Education. You and your mathematics advisor will need to plan your sequence of courses very carefully starting in your sophomore year to make sure that you are able to complete the required and recommended courses. The teacher certification program will take all of your time during the spring semester of your senior year, and some of our courses are not offered every semester. In particular, Math 316 (Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometry) is only offered in the Fall every other year, and Math 412 (Introduction to Number Theory) is only offered in the Fall.

If you decide that you are interested in secondary education later in your college career and are on your way to completing a Bachelors degree in Mathematics with the Standard or Applied concentration, William & Mary offers a five year Bachelors to Masters Secondary Math Education degree program.

The Noyce Scholars Program invites students that are interested in teaching mathematics to apply for a scholarship to help earn their certification. For more details about the Noyce Program, you can contact Meredith Kier.
