Integrated Mathematics Major/Single Subject Credential Program
Units required for Major and Credential: 90
Program Description
Teaching credential candidates must complete the Professional Education Program in addition to other requirements for a teaching credential. Consult the Department credential advisor for details. You may also obtain information about the Professional Education Program from the Teacher Preparation and Credentials Office, Eureka Hall 216, (916) 278-6403.
Students in the Integrated Mathematics Major/Single Subject Credential Program (also called the Blended Program in Mathematics) begin their pedagogical studies while they are completing the mathematics courses required for the Bachelor's degree in Mathematics. The mathematics requirements include all of the courses required for the subject matter program in mathematics (see above), and MATH 198. Students who are interested in being admitted to the Blended Program in Mathematics must plan ahead, and must see their advisor as soon as possible.
Note: Due to continuing policy changes, it is important to consult a credential advisor for current details.
Admission Requirements
Admission requirements for the Blended Program include junior class standing with a minimum overall GPA of 2.67, a grade of "C-" or better in MATH 108, passing the Writing Placement for Juniors Exam (WPJ), spending and documenting at least 45 hours observing classes, tutoring, or teaching in a variety of settings in grades 7-12, taking all three sections of the California Basic Education Skills Test (CBEST), and submitting an application packet to the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. A completed application packet includes:
- an application form;
- an essay outlining reasons for entering a career in teaching;
- two letters of recommendation;
- two sets of transcripts from each college or university attended, other than Sacramento State; and
- one complete Sacramento State transcript.
The application packet may be submitted during the semester in which the requirements for admission are being completed, so the application may be submitted during the semester in which enrollment in MATH 108 occurs.
