Prerequisite Grade Policy: students must have earned a grade ≥C in any course that is to be used to satisfy a prerequisite requirement for a subsequent mathematics course offered by the Eastern Washington University Department of Mathematics.
Grade Requirements: students must receive a grade ≥C in each course used to satisfy the requirements of an undergraduate major or minor in mathematics.
Teaching Endorsements: Students seeking to be elementary education (all subjects, grades k-8) endorsed will take all major courses listed and also complete all elementary education program/course requirements.
OR
Students seeking to be middle level mathematics endorsed (grade 4-9, mathematics only) will take all major courses listed and also complete all secondary education program/course requirements.
OR
Students seeking to K-9 math endorsement (all subjects, grades k-8, and Math 4-9) will take all major courses listed and also complete all elementary education program/course requirements and pass the NES Middle Grades Mathematics Test.
| Required Courses | ||
| Students can choose either elementary education concentration (grades K-8, certified all subjects) if they want to be elementary education endorsed or the secondary education concentration if they want to be only endorsed in middle level mathematics (grades 4-9, math only). Students in this major must also complete the following courses along with either the elementary education concentration or the secondary education concentration courses. | ||

Application for Graduation (use EagleNET) must be made at least two terms in advance of the term expected to graduate (undergraduate and post-baccalaureate).
Use the Catalog Archives to determine two important catalog years.
- The catalog in effect at the student's first term of current matriculation is used to determine BACR (Breadth Area Core Requirements) and UGR (Undergraduate Graduation Requirements).
- The catalog in effect at the time the student declares a major or minor is used to determine the program requirements.
Students who earn a BAE in Mathematics Education - Elementary/Middle Level from EWU should be able to:
- describe and demonstrate an ability to use the Mathematical Practices (CCSSM) and a productive disposition as a student and teacher of mathematics;
- demonstrate and apply in the classroom a profound understanding of fundamental mathematics within the K–8 curriculum, of how these topics progress within the K–8 range, of how these topics extend and relate to the mathematics in the secondary curriculum, and of the fundamental concepts in the curriculum in the secondary curriculum and beyond;
- demonstrate and apply in the classroom a deep understanding of how students learn mathematics and of the pedagogical knowledge specific to mathematics teaching and learning.
