(This concentration includes 51 upper division credits plus the number of upper division credits from the unrestricted credits that were chosen.)
NOTE #1: Students completing a Mathematics Education concentration may want to concentrate their unrestricted electives in an area that would earn them a minor in another field of their choice.
NOTE #2: Specific courses in the HPU Teacher Education Program may be taken in the senior year and applied simultaneously to the B.S. in Mathematics as an elective and to HPU's post-graduate teacher education degree. These courses are worth 4 credits each (3 + 1 Field Experience); 4 or 8 credits could be earned. Completing these courses while earning an undergraduate degree accelerates a student's work in HPU's post-graduate degree program leading to teacher licensure with the option of also earning a master's degree in education.
