The Advanced Mathematics for Elementary Education major is an excellent choice for students seeking licensure in Elementary or Special Education who wish to earn a strong credential in elementary mathematics education in order to pursue a career goal of elementary mathematics specialist (EMS). Students in this major must simultaneously be enrolled in one of the following B.S.E. degree programs:

• Elementary Education with Licensure (1-6), B.S.E.
• Special Education: Moderate Disabilities with Licensure (PreK-8), B.S.E.

Students are accepted into the program only with the approval of the mathematics department chair.

Requirements for the B.S. in Advanced Mathematics for Elementary Education:

• The University general education requirements.
• The Major.

For the general education requirements, specific WSU courses are required for Education students; see their list of general education coursework for Early Childhood, Elementary, and Special Education Majors. Students should consult with their Education advisor to choose appropriate University general education courses.

Students must take at least two (2) of the pedagogy-infused mathematics courses at Westfield State University, such as MATH 0153 , MATH 0250 , MATH 0254  or another course by permission of the Mathematics Department Chair.
