Academic Plan & Requirements
Undergraduate nondegree program
The undergraduate nondegree teacher licensure program is designed for current Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder undergraduates in a college or school outside of the School of Education. The students will complete teacher licensure coursework simultaneously with their undergraduate degree coursework.
Students interested in the teacher licensure who are current juniors or seniors are encouraged to consider applying to the one-year, intensive MA+ teacher licensure program.
We recommend that undergraduate students in the Secondary Mathematics program declare one of the following majors, as an efficient, content-centric pathway:
- Mathematics
- Applied Mathematics
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØTeach
Students in the program for teacher licensure in secondary math are also able to participate in the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØTeach program. Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØTeach helps secondary math and science students gain tools and resources from the School of Education; College of Engineering and Applied Sciences; and the College of Arts and Sciences.
Be inspired.
