JYI-Mathematics
Junior-Year Integrated Mathematics Teacher Credential Program
Mathematics BA and Preliminary Single Subject Credential in Mathematics

What is JYI-Mathematics?

JYI-Mathematics begins in the junior year and integrates undergraduate subject matter knowledge with teacher education content. A JYI-Math student earns a Bachelor's degree and a preliminary California teaching credential in Mathematics in two (or more) years.

JYI-Math is designed for juniors who have completed the lower division general education requirements and the lower division core of the math major with sufficient grades (see below). The program includes field experiences in middle and high school classrooms beginning the first semester, preparation to teach in culturally diverse classrooms, university faculty dedicated to teaching in the program, specialized academic and professional advisement, and a socially and academically supportive environment.

Is JYI-Math for you?


JYI-Math is designed for community college transfer students and CSUN juniors who have completed all lower division general education courses and all lower division math core courses, with a GPA of at least 2.6 in all courses in the major (excluding Physics 220B/BL) and no major course grade lower than a C. The program can be completed in one summer and two years if a student is qualified and commits to full-time study. It can also be completed at a slower pace. It is a partially cohorted or non-cohorted program for full-time or part-time students.
