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.

I chose Math Education because math always came very easy to me in high school. I love being able to help others not dislike math. I get a lot of the bad attitudes and negative thoughts coming in to my classroom, so I try to turn that around and make it a positive atmosphere where we can laugh, have fun, and enjoy ourselves with our learning. I feel that students need a strong background in math because math is everywhere in life. UNK set the foundation for the teacher that I am today.
