Job Outlook
Our faculty has extensive contacts in the field that lead to information about job openings, and our graduates continually call for recommendations to fill vacancies. Student teaching placements often lead to full-time employment after graduation.
Career Opportunities
Prospects for mathematics teachers in the secondary schools are excellent in the next decade as the demand grows for increased student proficiency in mathematics. Retirement patterns also promise that the demand for mathematics teachers will be even stronger later in the decade.
The Program in Teaching Mathematics prepares you for teaching mathematics to
students in grades 7 through 12. To qualify for provisional or initial certification
in New York and most other states, you take the New York State Teacher Certification
Examinations after graduation. While teaching, many of our graduates pursue
a master's degree that enables them to become mathematics specialists in
a school district, managers of mathematics programs, and assistant principals
in charge of mathematics curriculum.
Examples of mathematics teaching positions in New York obtained by our graduates
include the following:
- Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics
- Manhattan Comprehensive Night and Day High School
- Baruch College High School
Other graduates have put their mathematics and teaching skills to use in business, industry, science, and government agencies.
