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 Common Core (use core for BSE degree courses).
• The Major.

For the University Common Core, specific WSU core courses are required for Education students; see their list of “Common Core Coursework for Early Childhood, Elementary, and Special Education Majors.” Students should consult with their Education advisor to choose appropriate University Common Core courses.
