Completing this minor, along with EWU’s Secondary Education requirements and a major field of study, satisfies Washington State requirements for a middle-level mathematics teaching endorsement (grades 4–9).
This minor can be completed as an add-on middle-level mathematics endorsement. Completing MATH 208 fulfills EWU’s Mathematical Reasoning competency requirement.
All certification candidates must pass the NES subject matter test to qualify for endorsement.
The following information comes from the official EWU catalog, which outlines all degree requirements and serves as the guide to earning a degree. Courses are designed to provide a well-rounded and versatile degree, covering a wide range of subject areas.
