Overview

A major in Middle Grades Mathematics from Western Kentucky University is for students who plan to teach mathematics in grades 5-9 only. The degree requires a second major in Science and Mathematics education (reference number 774). Upon successful completion of both majors, the student will receive a Bachelor of Science degree.

Admission Requirements

Students who wish to declare a 730 middle grades mathematics major will initially be designated as “seeking admission” until the following requirements have been satisfied:

Complete 3 of the following with a “C” or better in each course: MATH 136, MATH 183, MATH 205, MATH 206, MATH 302.

Have an overall GPA of at least 2.5 in all middle grades mathematics program courses (MATH 136 and above) completed prior to admission.

Note: If a course is repeated, then the second grade is used to compute the GPA. If a course is repeated multiple times, then the average of all grades after the first attempt is used to compute the GPA.
