Junior-Year Integrated Mathematics Teacher Credential Program (JYI-Math, Fall 2011 or later)

 

The Junior-Year Integrated Mathematics Teacher Credential Program (JYI-Math) begins in the junior year and integrates undergraduate subject matter knowledge with teacher education content.  Students earn their Bachelor’s degree and a preliminary California Single Subject Teaching Credential in Mathematics in two (or more) years. 

JYI-Math is designed for juniors who have completed the lower division general education requirements and the lower division core of the math major.  The program includes field experiences in middle and high school classrooms beginning the first semester, preparation to teach in culturally diverse classrooms, university faculty dedicated to teaching in the program, specialized academic and professional advisement, and a socially and academically supportive environment.

 

Program features:

Can be completed in one summer and two years if a student is qualified and commits to full-time study.

Partially cohorted or non-cohorted program for full-time or part-time students.

For community college transfer students or CSUN juniors.

Mathematics major and credential coursework is integrated across the program.

Program meets all requirements for BA in Mathematics and Single Subject Preliminary Credential.
