MATHEMATICS

CERTIFICATE OF ELIGIBILITY WITH ADVANCED STANDING


(ENDORSEMENT CODE: 1900)

This endorsement entitles the holder to teach Mathematics in all public schools.
Degree Requirement
• A minimum of a bachelor’s degree is required from a regionally accredited college/university.

Cumulative GPA Requirement


• New Jersey requires that candidates for certification achieve a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 when a GPA of 4.00
equals an A grade for students graduating on or after September 1, 2016 (2.75 for those graduating before
September 1, 2016) in a baccalaureate degree program, higher degree program or a State-approved post-
baccalaureate certification program with a minimum of 13 semester-hour credits.
• Please note that there are GPA Flexibility Rules where a high praxis score may offset a GPA that is lower than 3.0, but
higher than 2.75.

Subject Matter Preparation


• For certification as a Mathematics teacher, current regulations require that applicants complete a minimum of 30 credits
in a coherent sequence in the subject field of Mathematics. A coherent sequence requires that at least 12 credits are
completed at the advanced level of study (junior, senior or graduate level). Examples of courses accepted for
Mathematics include algebra, geometry, calculus, statistics, FORTRAN and data structures. Related courses may be
accepted depending on the course description/content. Please provide a course description if a course is not taken from
the Mathematics Department. Courses in pedagogy/education are not accepted towards the subject matter preparation.
The final determination as to which courses will be counted towards the Mathematics subject matter is based on
professional and content standards found in the NJ Licensing Code. All credits must appear on a regionally
accredited 2 or 4-year college/university transcript.

Testing Requirements
• Praxis II Test Requirement
Official scores must be presented directly from Educational Testing Service to the NJ Department of Education. Only
official scores are accepted. The New Jersey Department of Education code (R7666) and your Social Security
number must appear on your test score report in order to be accepted. Please submit a copy of your test score
report if you have taken the appropriate exam.

Professional Teacher Preparation


• Current regulations for certification require that applicants complete a coherent sequence of study in professional
education which may be completed in a provisional teacher program or an approved teacher preparation program. This
is to advise that courses presented by the applicant in professional education must be a coherent sequence of courses
that culminates in supervised clinical practice.

Physiology and Hygiene Requirement

1.) Present evidence of basic military training
2.) Complete a course such as biology, health or nutrition that appears on a regionally accredited 2 or 4-year
college/university transcript
