Math Education

Math Education is an Area of Concentration that falls under Liberal Arts or General Studies at varying 4-year colleges. At the two-year level, it should not be confused with declaring a major; rather, it is a program track that is recognized by Alabama Transfers for the specific purpose of transferring to a four-year college. Upon completion of this course of study, students are awarded a 2-year Associates degree that is transferable. At Lawson, Education falls under the Social and Behavorial Sciences Department although the focus for this specific program is mathematics. Mathematics faculty also advise Math Education students. You are in the right location. You can access your degree path and others from this location. Continue to explore the page.
