Frequently Asked Questions About a Math Teacher Preparation Program
What is the difference between a math degree and a math education degree?
When you earn a traditional math degree online, you focus on advanced theory and technical problem-solving. Many online math degrees help prepare you for research, analytics, or graduate study rather than classroom instruction. A degree in mathematics online often centers your studies on pure math content rather than on teaching practice.
When you choose a math education degree, you can study education and mathematics together. You’ll still complete upper-level math courses, but you’ll also focus on math teaching methods and classroom strategy. This pathway connects mathematical reasoning with real mathematics in schools.
Liberty’s online Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) in Mathematics Education (6-12) blends math coursework with teacher preparation. Instead of only studying theory, you can prepare for secondary math instruction in structured classroom settings. If your goal is to teach mathematics, this program aligns with that goal more closely than a general online mathematics degree typically would.
What degree do you need to teach secondary math?
To teach secondary math, many schools expect you to earn a bachelor’s degree that includes both advanced math study and professional teacher training. You must understand math content and know how to guide students through it. States also require you to complete approved licensure steps in order to teach in public schools.
Liberty’s B.Ed. in Mathematics Education (6-12) combines math content with structured teacher preparation in 1 accredited online education degree. You’ll complete coursework designed for teaching math in grades 6-12. This focused design supports students like you who want to enter secondary education with a clear teaching purpose.
Does Liberty’s B.Ed. program lead to licensure?
Liberty’s Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) in Mathematics Education (6-12) is designed to follow a licensure-track structure in the state of Virginia. You can complete approved coursework, supervised field experiences, and student teaching requirements that align with teacher preparation standards. Licensure rules vary by state, so you should review your state’s licensure requirements.
Does Liberty’s teacher preparation program include student teaching hours?
When you complete a B.Ed. at Liberty University, you’ll have the opportunity to complete 90 practicum hours and at least 1 full semester of student teaching. These placements take place in K-12 classrooms where you’ll observe, assist, and gradually lead instruction. Each experience supports your growth in secondary math instruction.
These supervised hours can allow you to apply differentiated instruction in mathematics while working with diverse learners in a practical environment. This balance of online coursework and in-person training can strengthen your preparation for secondary math teaching.
