Undergraduate credential pathways:

1) Joint Math Education Program (JMEP) -

The Joint Math/Ed Program (JMEP) is a collaborative effort of the UCLA Mathematics Department and the Graduate School of Education's Teacher Education Program. In this program, students begin work toward a California Preliminary Single Subject Teaching Credential in Mathematics during their senior year, and complete this coursework by the end of the academic year immediately following completion of their bachelor's degree. In the academic year immediately following their bachelors degree, students complete a Masters in Education while teaching full time (earning a full time salary) in Los Angeles urban schools.

2) Integrated Pathway -

This program allows students to complete most or all of the required credential coursework as an undergraduate.

For more information and to apply for either JMEP or the Integrated Pathway, please go to the UCLA Curtis Center for Mathematics and Teaching. Also see UCLA Graduate School of Education Undergraduate Programs.

 

Math for Teaching Major

The Math for Teaching Major is designed for students who have a substantial interest in teaching mathematics at the secondary level.

Contact the math department for more details. 

 

Mathematics for Teaching Minor

The Mathematics for Teaching Minor is designed for students majoring in fields other than mathematics who plan to teach secondary mathematics after graduation. For non-majors joining the Mathematics Department and School of Education's Joint Mathematics Education Program (JMEP), the minor provides recognition for completion of prerequisite coursework for the program. This coursework also prepares students for content on the Math CSET exam.
