INTRODUCTION
The Bachelor of Science Teaching Major in Secondary Mathematics (TMAT) is a program designed for and limited to students enrolled in the School of Education's teacher education program who are seeking certification at the middle and high school level and who wish to pursue mathematics as their content major.
The TMAT program prepares students to become middle and high school mathematics teachers with strong backgrounds in mathematics and pedagogy. Graduates will be well prepared to become effective, caring teachers who will bring vision, focus, and leadership to their schools.
The Core Curriculum requirements for Education Majors, and the University and state requirements for teacher certification, are described in the Undergraduate Bulletin. TMAT majors are required to complete the College Curriculum for the Bachelor of Science as well the requirements of the College of Education for secondary teachers.
The Teaching Minor in Secondary Mathematics and the Teaching Minor in Computer Science are programs designed for and limited to students who will have earned teaching major certification at the middle and high school level in some other area, and who wish to be certified to teach mathematics or computer science at the secondary level.
PROGRAMS OFFERED
Teaching Major in Secondary Mathematics: In order to satisfy subject matter requirements, the thirty-nine hours of mathematics are: MATH 80, 81, 82, 91, 121, 124, 135, 138, 139, either 150 or 160, 164, and 147 (or with consent of the department's Teacher Education Committee, 101 or 120).
In addition, MATH 137 must be completed before student teaching. MATH 137 is included in the "Professional Education Sequence" and cannot be used to fulfill the 39-hour requirement in mathematics.
Teaching Minor in Secondary Mathematics: : Twenty-six hours of mathematics, including MATH 80, 81, 91, 121, 124, 135, 138, and 164. In addition, MATH 137 must be completed before student teaching. MATH 137 is required in the "professional education sequence" and cannot be used to fulfill the 26-hour requirement in mathematics.
Teaching Minor in (Secondary) Computer Science: Twenty hours of computer science courses, comprising COSC 60, 61, 65, 66, and six additional hours of upper-division computer science courses. In addition, each student must complete MATH 90.
Students who intend to complete a teacher-preparation program through the Marquette School of Education are strongly advised to contact the Office of Teacher Education as early as possible to avoid delays in their program.
ADVISING/PRE-REGISTRATION - SECONDARY MATHEMATICS
Students planning to complete the certification requirements in secondary mathematics should consult with Dr. Peter Jones (CU 340C), Dr. John Moyer (CU 326), or Dr. Kim Factor (CU332), as well as with an adviser in the School of Education.

STUDENT TEACHING
EDUC 176, Student Teaching, is usually completed in the last semester of a student's program.
Students must apply and be approved by the Office of Teacher Education to student teach.
Pre-requisites for approval for student teaching are:
- A cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5.
- A mathematics average of at least 2.75. Courses with grades of CD or lower do not fulfill the requirements for majors or minors. Courses with these grades must be repeated or replaced with other courses. Either way, the CD is not counted.
