Requirements for Mathematics Teachers (Grades 7-12)
We strongly recommend that prospective secondary science teachers seek advising from the UAF School of Education early in their undergraduate degree program, so that they can be appropriately advised of the State of Alaska requirements for teacher licensure. Students may choose to pursue a double major with education or complete a postbaccalaureate teacher certification program.
