The Adolescence Education: Mathematics, B.S. degree leads to Initial Certification in New York State to teach mathematics in grades 7 through 12. Our program has achieved “national recognition” by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and is considered one of the top teacher preparation programs in the state - indeed, in the nation.

The State University of New York at Fredonia is committed to doing our part to provide each student a clear path to graduation. This four-year degree plan is a sample map for fulfilling requirements in the major, the Fredonia Foundations (FF), and other supporting courses. The pathway that you take to your degree may differ somewhat from this illustration, depending on where you start and the detours and side trips you may take along the way. If you are committed to completing your degree in four years, we encourage you to consider signing up for the Fredonia in 4 program.
