The program requirements pertain to the Undergraduate Catalog and are intended as a guide for academic planning. Students currently on SUNY campuses should consult their academic advisor for additional choices in general education categories when any course is recommended.
- To view all required courses for the program and Cortland’s General Education courses, see the most current undergraduate Catalog.
- Use the transfer equivalency tables to choose equivalents at your transfer college.
- If you plan to transfer before you complete your associate’s degree, you can still earn your degree via Reverse Transfer.
About Adolescence Education: Mathematics
Teaching is a rewarding profession and good math teachers are always in demand. At SUNY Cortland, you will get a solid foundation in mathematics along with nationally recognized professional preparation for teaching in grades 7-12. If you decide you don’t want to teach, you’ll have a degree that you can use to pursue other careers. You also have the option of working toward dual certification in both mathematics and physics.
Career Potential
- Mathematics teacher in high school or junior high school
- Curriculum coordinator
- Educational administrator
What Will I Learn?
The math courses you take will teach you to think critically, reason logically and solve problems. While the professional preparation courses will help you become a more effective teacher by introducing you to different teaching and assessment strategies. Ultimately, you get to put all these skills into practice during a semester of student teaching your senior year.
Applying to Cortland
- SUNY Cortland accepts the Common Application and the SUNY Online application. Choose just one way to apply; both require a $50 non-refundable application fee.
- If you apply to Cortland using the SUNY application, SUNY will waive the $50 application fee for transfer students graduating with an associate degree from a SUNY or CUNY college, who apply directly to Cortland for baccalaureate programs.
- Fall applicants should apply by June 1. Spring applications should apply by November 1.
- After applying, students must send transcripts from all colleges attended and a high school transcript.
