Admission to Program
Students will apply to Double Dawgs pathway by the third Friday in August of year three of the undergraduate program. This application not only includes applying to the Double Dawgs pathway through the Athena system, but also submission of an initial teacher certification application to the Mathematics Education program. Application information for the initial teacher certification application can be found at this webpage (https://coe.uga.edu/academics/degrees/bsed-math-education) under the How to Apply section.
Applicants will follow the undergraduate Mathematics Education admittance requirements which include: an overall grade point average of at least 2.75; successful completion of MATH 2250, MATH 2260, and MATH 3200, each course with a grade of C or better; Completion of at least 30 clock hours of tutoring pre-college students in a structured setting in the mathematics of grades 6-12 with required documentation, an essay reflecting on your tutoring experience, and an evaluation by a supervisor or coordinator. Students may apply to the program while these courses and tutoring are in progress, and upon meeting the requirements the following formula will be used to determine admittance: Grade in MATH 2250 + Grade in MATH 2260 + Grade in MATH 3200 + Overall Grade Point Average must be a minimum of 9.75 for admittance to the program.
Curriculum
Graduate-level courses that may be used to satisfy undergraduate and graduate program requirements.
During undergraduate studies: 2 MATH/STAT classes must be taken at the graduate level. We recommend MATH 7200 and another course, in consultation with the mathematics education advisor. 2 EMAT courses are taken at the graduate level. **MATH 6000 must be taken for certification in Georgia unless the student already has credit for MATH 4000. If MATH 4000/6000 was previously taken, the student should choose, in consultation with the mathematics education advisor, a different MATH, STAT, or EMAT course.
