Note: Students who are considering secondary mathematics teaching as one of
several career options in mathematical sciences are encouraged to complete an
additional 6 credits of MATH/STAT 3xx/4xx courses. This allows you to graduate with
a Mathematics degree, if you choose, while still maintaining Pennsylvania Secondary
Teaching Certification.
