- No more than one grade below a "C" is permitted in courses applicable to the major.
Teacher Certification Program:Teacher certification: satisfaction of state requirements for primary or secondary education certification in the field of mathematics entails additional courses. PRofessional competence in mathematics is the primary focus of training as a mathematics major. Consult the Education curriculum for certification requirements.
