About Adolescence Education: Mathematics

Teaching is a rewarding profession and good math teachers are always in demand. At SUNY Cortland, you will get a solid foundation in mathematics along with nationally recognized professional preparation for teaching in grades 7-12. If you decide you don’t want to teach, you’ll have a degree that you can use to pursue other careers. You also have the option of working toward dual certification in both mathematics and physics.

Career Potential

Mathematics teacher in high school or junior high school
Curriculum coordinator
Educational administrator

What Will I Learn?

The math courses you take will teach you to think critically, reason logically and solve problems. While the professional preparation courses will help you become a more effective teacher by introducing you to different teaching and assessment strategies. Ultimately, you get to put all these skills into practice during a semester of student teaching your senior year.
