 Return to: Index of Academic Degrees, Certificates and Programs Listed by Degree
(85-86 units)
The Single Subject Matter program listed below has been approved by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing for the Single Subject Credential in Mathematics. In addition to consulting the credential adviser for mathematics, students should consult advisers in the Charter College of Education and refer to the Charter College of Education section of the Academic Programs: College-Based and University-Wide chapter of this catalog for regulations governing all teaching credential programs.
Students planning to complete a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics with the goal of a teaching credential in mathematics should follow the course listings for the B.A. or B.S. Mathematics and select either the Single Subject Credential or Blended Teaching option. Others who have already earned or are currently pursuing a baccalaureate in another discipline must pass either the appropriate subject examination (CSET Mathematics I-III) or complete the approved program of course work listed below to complete the Subject Matter program in Mathematics.
It is assumed that students entering this program have completed the equivalent of CSULA’s Precalculus sequence MATH 104A and 104B). Competence in these courses can also be shown by taking the respective departmental exit exam.

Electives (minimum 8 units)
Select from among the following or other appropriate courses in mathematics or related areas with adviser approval and attention to prerequisites.
Strongly Recommended: MATH 310; MATH 466 for those who may be teaching Advanced Placement calculus classes. Supplementary Authorization for Single or Multiple Subject Teaching Credential (30–33 units)
Holders of a Single Subject or Multiple Subject credential issued by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing may secure a supplementary authorization in Introductory Mathematics (on single subject credentials) or Mathematics (on multiple subject credentials) for teaching mathematics at any grade level through grade 9 by completing the following courses with a grade of C or higher in each course. Note that this supplementary authorization is not NCLB (No Child Left Behind) compliant, but that some school districts may hire candidates with a supplementary authorization on the condition that the candidate will work toward the Subject Matter Authorization in Introductory Mathematics (see below). For other requirements governing issuance of this authorization, consult the Charter College of Education. Complete or demonstrate proficiency in each of the following courses (30–33 units):
Required Courses (16 units)
Select three courses from the following (12 units)
Select one course from the following (2 or 5 units)
Notes:
*prerequisite: MATH 325
**prerequisite: MATH 209 Subject Matter Authorization in Introductory Mathematics for Single or Multiple Subject Teaching Credential (48 units)
Holders of a Single or Multiple Subject Teaching Credential issued by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) may add a Subject Matter Authorization in Introductory Mathematics. This allows the holder of the Subject Matter Authorization to teach mathematics curriculum usually taught in grades 9 and below (even though the students may be in grades K-12).
To obtain a Subject Matter Authorization in Introductory Mathematics (which satisfies the federal “No Child Left Behind” (NCLB) regulation), a total of 48 quarter units (=32 semester units) of course work applicable toward a bachelor’s degree must be completed with a grade of C or better. A minimum of 4 quarter units of course work must be completed in each of the following core areas: Algebra; Advanced Algebra; Geometry; Probability or Statistics; and Development of the Real Number System or Introduction to Mathematics.
The core courses in the program below have been designed for students who have not taken any college level mathematics course. Students placing into a mathematics course at a level beyond MATH 102 or MATH 104A should consult with the credential adviser in mathematics to select a different set of core courses. Additional information is available by downloading the CCTC guide for subject matter authorization (www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/manualshandbooks/subjectmatter-auth.pdf) or through the credential adviser for mathematics. For other requirements governing issuance of this authorization, consult the Charter College of Education. Complete 48 units of Coursework:
The following five recommended core courses will satisfy the core area requirements. Alternative sets of course work may also be used to meet the core area requirements. Proper academic advisement is essential prior to the start of this authorization program. Elective Courses
Select courses as needed to reach a total of 48 units of coursework. MATH 248 and MATH 225 are highly recommended. Notes:
* Prerequisite: MATH 207
** Prerequisite: MATH 208
*** Prerequisite: MATH 209
+ Prerequisite: MATH 325
++ Prerequisite: MATH 208 and 248 |
