Fall 2022: We have temporarily suspended applications to the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Secondary Education Program.

The Department of Mathematics offers a joint Bachelors of Science degree with the Department of Education. The program consists of a mix of primarily math and education courses, as well as physics and computer science. Successful completion of this program earns certification to teach middle and high school math in the District of Columbia or any one of the 47 states with which DC has a reciprocity agreement.
