How many years of math do you need in college to be a teacher?

Question

I am entering my freshmen year at a community college in a week and a half. I plan to transfer out hopefully after the first year, as you only need a GPA of 2.4 and 12 units completed there.

I want to become an elementary school teacher, and am already taking Math for Elementary school teaching, but I was curious, do you need to take math for the remaining years of college? What about english?

Answer 1

check with the school(s) you're planning on transferring to on what their elem ed degrees consist of

Answer 2

You have time, but I suggest that you check with your local and state Department of Education for specific requirements. If you go to a university with a School of Education, they will know the requirements.

You may need an MSED, or the BS plus 30 credits to get the job.

Answer 3

You usually need three English classes (often literature but definitely basic English), but usually only math class is required.
