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.

Being on a smaller campus like UNK, I was able to have the same professors for multiple classes. You really get to know your professors and they get to know you. You are able to ask questions and get extra help when needed. You are never just a number at UNK. Professors genuinely care and want to help you succeed. There are so many great opportunities at UNK you may not get the chance to experience at a bigger school. Choose the University where professors take a vested interest in you and your career! The relationships and connections you make at UNK don’t stop the day you graduate; they are permanent. In the field of Education, you can never have too many people on your team. UNK is a fantastic place to start your career in Education!
