Adolescent Mathematics, Grades 7-12- BA/MA

Declaring the Major

Before you can declare a School of Education major as part of your bachelor’s degree, you must complete a group interview with faculty. Signing up for an interview can be done through the School of Education website. Current Hunter students can request an interview throughout the year.

Students interested in an Education program should interview as early as is possible in the semester prior to the one in which they plan to enroll. Transfer students should seek advisement about declaring a School of Education major as soon as they have been admitted to Hunter. 

The School of Education does not accept non-degree or second-degree students. Meeting minimum admission requirements does not guarantee entry into the program.
 

Requirements to Declare the Major

1. Minimum of at least 60 credits but no more than 90 credits completed by the first semester in the education program.
2. A Hunter College Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.0 or better.
3. Evidence of advanced writing ability through a review of English composition and writing intensive coursework.
4. Formal declaration of a major in Mathematics or Statistics.
5. Participation in a group interview.

Hunter Core Requirement

Several courses within this major may fulfill parts of the Hunter Core Requirement (CUNY Common Core Requirement [CCCR], Concurrent Requirements). When selecting courses, it may be to a student’s advantage to choose courses that count toward the Hunter Core Requirement and also advance the student on the path to the major. Details on the Hunter Core Requirement can be found here: Hunter Core Requirement - Fall 2013 to Spring 2019  .

In the case of the Mathematics, the courses that meet CCCR are:

• MATH 12500 (STEM) - Precalculus  
• MATH 15000 (STEM) - Calculus I  
• MATH 15500 (STEM) - Calculus II  
• STAT 21300 (STEM) - Introduction to Applied Statistics   

Please note that no more than two courses from any one department will count for the CUNY Common Core Requirement.
