Education College of Distinction

Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Education

The mathematics education major at the University of Lynchburg will prepare you to teach students effectively at the secondary level. You’ll build a strong foundation in your own mathematical skills through advanced courses while learning key education theories. The result is a blend of coursework that’ll grow your confidence as a teacher who can challenge, and encourage your students.

From mathematical reasoning to abstract algebra, your understanding of math will go much deeper than just numbers and equations on the page. Plus, you’ll have plenty of chances to take what you’ve learned outside the classroom. This program has multiple courses that prioritize hands-on learning — including an internship course, independent math research, and student teaching in a live classroom. And by the time you graduate, you’ll be ready for licensure as a middle and/or high school teacher in Virginia.
