The answer depends on the university. Usually, you need at least a Master's degree to teach at a university. I've never heard of a college professor with only a Bachelor's degree.

What is required to be a calculus teacher?

To teach at the college level (or at a private high school), a minimum of a master's degree in mathematics (or a closely related field) is required. Some colleges will allow teachers to teach as adjuncts (meaning they are not official professors, do not have offices, teach only a few classes, and make a much lower salary than official professors) if they are in the process of getting a master's degree. To teach at the high school level, the requirements vary from state to state in the US. Most require a bachelor's degree in mathematics education. The main difference is that colleges do not require any education background whatsoever (just math) while high schools require more education than math (in some districts with a shortage of teachers, a history teacher with no math background could be allowed to teach calculus).

What do you need to study to become a math teacher?

The best is to have a college degree and be a math major. Many math teachers do not have degrees in math, however, my personal opinion is that formal math education is a big plus (pun intended) for math teachers. Some math teachers have computer science backgrounds. In many cases, teachers who want to teach math without a math degree need to pass a test to do so. So if you want to be a math teacher, go to college and major in math! Then you also have to get a teaching credential. Some schools have combined math bs and teaching programs.


What type of math classes does colleges and universities are required to take?

What major do you need to become a teacher?

It depends on what you want to teach and where you want to teach. If you want to teach children at the elementary level, a degree in elementary education would be sufficient. If you want to teach at the high school level, a degree in secondary education or a degree in the subject you want to teach (history, math, English, biology, etc.) would be necessary. If you wish to teach at the college level, usually a Master's degree in a specific field is the bare minimum. A doctorate (PhD) is usually preferred, particularly if you desire a full professorship.

Is it true that you need to major math to become a math teacher in NYC schools?

Yes and No. You must take all the credits that a math major has to take if you want to teach High School, but you don't have to have a B.A. in math. Instead, get a degree in education and take the required math classes. The difference is that a Bachelor's in math requires other elective courses that you won't have to take as an education major, such as language classes and other lib-ed requirements Well, I ask this question because some of my friends said that I should major in "Education with math concentration" rather "Math" major.

What majors would you need to be a math teacher?

To teach at the secondary level or higher you really need a math major although you can be certified in most states with a minor in math and can likely get a job since math teachers are relatively scarce. You need to take the education courses needed for certification if you want to teach in a public school. You can teach math at the elementary level after one or two courses in math for elementary education. At any level, you will find it advantageous to take as many math courses as you can.
