Mathematics, B.A. - Junior-Year Integrated (JYI) Mathematics Subject Matter Program for the Single Subject Credential Option

Program: Mathematics, B.A.

Junior-Year Integrated (JYI) Mathematics Subject Matter Program for the Single Subject Credential Option

Program Description

The Four-Year Integrated (FYI) and Junior-Year Integrated (JYI) Mathematics Single Subject Matter Program for the Single Subject Credential options prepare students for a career in teaching Mathematics at the middle school and/or high school level. FYI and JYI integrate Mathematics subject matter coursework, GE requirements and the coursework included in professional preparation, permitting students who successfully complete the program to earn both a B.A. in Mathematics and a Single Subject Mathematics Preliminary Credential in four and a half years for FYI students and in as few as two years for JYI students. These programs meet the California CTC subject matter requirements for the Mathematics Single Subject Credential. For details on the Single Subject Credential Program see the Credential and Department of Secondary Education sections in this Catalog.

Students in the Mathematics, B.A.—Junior-Year Integrated (JYI) Mathematics Option may not declare a double major/option within the Department of Mathematics.

Admission into programs leading to licensure and credentialing does not guarantee that students will obtain a license or credential. Licensure and credentialing requirements are set by agencies that are not controlled by or affiliated with the CSU, and requirements can change at any time. For example, licensure or credentialing requirements can include evidence of the right to work in the United States (e.g., Social Security number or taxpayer identification number) or successfully passing a criminal background check. Students are responsible for determining whether they can meet licensure or credentialing requirements. The CSU will not refund tuition, fees, or any associated costs to students who determine subsequent to admission that they cannot meet licensure or credentialing requirements. Information concerning licensure and credentialing requirements is available from the respective department or program. See Notice to Students: Licensure and Certification for more information.

Program Requirements

The Junior-Year Integrated Mathematics (JYI-Math) teacher credential program begins in the junior year for students who apply and have been accepted to the program. JYI-Math integrates undergraduate subject-matter knowledge with teacher education content and leads to both a B.A. degree in Mathematics and a Preliminary Single Subject Credential in Mathematics. For admission, students must be juniors who have completed (with sufficient grades) the lower division General Education requirements and the lower division core of the Mathematics major. Upon entering the JYI-Math program during their junior year, full-time students may join a cohort and take courses as outlined by a teacher-preparation advisor in the Department of Mathematics. Part-time students may work at their own pace in a non-cohorted version of the program.

JYI-Math incorporates the upper division requirements for a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics Secondary Teaching option) with the requirements for the Preliminary Single Subject Credential in Mathematics. Students considering JYI-Math should seek advisement as soon as possible for guidance in meeting admission and program requirements.
