Kings Education - United States

The Wisconsin Education Association Council reports a shortage of mathematics teachers in the state, so there has never been a better time to consider this path.UW-Stout's Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Applied Mathematics & Computer Science (Mathematics Education Concentration) prepares you for a career as a middle school or high school teacher. In addition to core courses in mathematics, computer science, and statistics, the Mathematics Education concentration adds education coursework that leads to licensure as a mathematics teacher.The Mathematics Education concentration includes multiple classroom experiences, so you can experience a variety of classroom environments as early as possible. These experiences will help you determine what grade level and school setting are the best fit for you. One strength of the concentration system used by the AMCS major is that, if you decide not to pursue teaching, the core requirements for the concentrations are the same and switching is straightforward. This program is a much more in-depth math program than many other math education programs and truly prepares students with the technical skills, as well as problem-solving and critical thinking skills, needed to be successful no matter what path they choose. Students pursuing Mathematics Education at UW-Stout complete all requirements leading to licensure as a mathematics teacher while completing a full Applied Math and Computer Science Major.
