The undergraduate mathematics teaching concentration does not by itself provide certification for teaching mathematics. Licensure usually involves three parts: a bachelor's degree in mathematics or equivalent, courses in education, and state examinations. For students interested in teaching, the Graduate School of Education offers a graduate program designed to prepare elementary and secondary teachers in mathematics education. This provides the coursework and the experience required for certification in Massachusetts and thirty-three other states. Interested persons may obtain additional information from the Graduate School of Education.
