Mathematics Computer Science Education

After studying computer science and mathematics, including linear algebra, advanced calculus, statistics, data science, and more, you will apply your knowledge to the classroom. Taylor’s education program will prepare you to teach through student teaching, practicums and classroom observations that start your freshman year, educational technology, and classes in psychology and classroom management. Building more classroom responsibilities over four years, you’ll complete a full semester of student teaching during your senior year. Student teachers will have two different placements, with opportunities to teach abroad.

After graduation and passing the licensure exams, you’ll be licensed to teach both math and computer science in the State of Indiana. Indiana recently has begun requiring computer education to K-12 grade levels. Taylor is just one of five colleges in Indiana offering this combined Mathematics and Computer Science degree program, and the only Christian college on the list. This degree is highly employable with significant growth potential, both as a teacher or in an industry career.

Taylor’s general Mathematics Education degree will expand your knowledge of mathematics while also providing a strong foundation in the field of education. You’ll be prepared to teach at the middle or high school level, helping your students grasp mathematics, sharpen critical thinking, and prepare for studying math in college.
