If you are interested in this minor please speak with one of the program advisers, Joe Ediger ediger@pdx.edu or Eva Thanheiser evat@pdx.edu. A student must complete a minimum of 35 credits (at least 9 of the upper-division credits must be taken in residence at PSU), to include the following:

Only grades of C-, P, or above count toward satisfying the requirements. No more than three courses with a grade of P may be counted toward these requirements. The prerequisites for the MTH 490's courses are MTH 111-112 and MTH 211-212-213.

*MTH 497 "Teaching and Learning in the Middle School Math Classroom" is included below as it is the top choice for the elective.

Projected Schedule

Students who are interested in this program and who already have a Bachelors degree should look at the companion program for graduate students, the Graduate Certificate in Mathematics for Middle School Teachers at http://www.mth.pdx.edu/programs/msmp.asp. PSU does not allow adding a minor after the Bachelors degree has been conferred.
