The Evangel University Department of Science and Technology is dedicated to the spiritual, academic and social growth of every student. The department’s purpose is to provide an excellent scientific education that is thoroughly integrated with the University’s emphasis on the development of strong Christian character. Within this framework, students must contend with new scientific, social, ethical and technological challenges. Students learn to communicate technical concepts clearly and effectively and exhibit analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.

A math education major normally requires four years of coursework in high school mathematics; this should include at least a precalculus or college algebra/trig course during the senior year. Students not having this background in high school mathematics can expect to take that course during their freshman year at Evangel.

The mathematics portion of the major consists of 33 credits in mathematics satisfying Missouri certification requirements necessary to become a secondary mathematics teacher. The 34 credits in education are certification requirements for all secondary teachers regardless of major. In addition to the academic coursework in education, a math education major will have three field experiences in public schools assisting high school math teachers followed by the student teaching field experience during the final semester.
