Fundamental Concepts Arithmetic and Geometry
1. impart specified professional/vocational/career competencies; or
Electives (28)
2. produce mastery of the content of a sub-field of an academic major
(discipline); or
3. provide exposure to the range of materials in a traditional or emerging
interdisciplinary field.
Certain certificate programs contain 600-level courses as requirements
and/or electives. These 600-level courses may not be taken by
undergraduate students. Candidates must receive two-thirds of their
certificate-applicable credit from the university. The transferring of credit
or the substitution of courses may occur only after application to the
appropriate campus authority.
The Certificate in Introductory Mathematics has been approved by
the California Commission on Teaching Credentialing to meet the
required components for the Subject Matter Authorization: Introductory
Mathematics. Completion of this program allows students to apply for the
Subject Matter Authorization: Introductory Mathematics for teaching the
content matter up through the ninth grade mathematics.
Holders of a valid California teaching credential who satisfy the following
requirements in algebra, geometry, and development of the real number
system and who complete at least thirty units of this certificate may
apply to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing for a
supplementary authorization in mathematics.
Certificate Requirements
Courses must be completed with a grade of "C" or better.
