About the Mathematics 6-12 Teaching Field Endorsement Degree Program

On Campus

Earning a math teaching endorsement opens the door for employment opportunities in schools across Nebraska and nationwide. UNK's College of Education has cultivated a reputation for producing Nebraska's top teachers for more than a century, preparing graduates for rewarding careers that inspire the next generation.

Students in the math teaching program get to interact in classrooms early and often and UNK’s close partnership with Kearney and area schools gives them numerous hands-on opportunities through both early field experiences and student teaching. Faculty know the value of practical learning and guide students in these field experiences.

After completing the program requirements, you will have a strong mathematical background in all areas needed for middle and high school teaching, including calculus, geometry, statistics and teaching pedagogy. Classes for mathematics education majors are taught by full-time professional staff who are dedicated to your success, with specialties ranging from mathematics education to applied and abstract mathematics. The advanced classes often have fewer than a dozen students, allowing faculty to provide you with more personalized instruction.

“My experience at UNK helped develop me into the leader and teacher that I want to be. At a young age, I knew I wanted to help youth grow and develop into successful adults. My desire is to share the beauty and art of mathematics that I experienced at UNK with my students at Kearney High. The professors at UNK brought mathematics to life. The program challenged my mind, honed my skills and prepared me for teaching."
