FSU-Teach represents Florida State University's adaptation of a pioneering national initiative originally created at the University of Texas (UTeach), designed to provide advanced preparation for future middle and high school science and mathematics educators. Participants earn a specialized STEM major alongside a secondary major in Education, gaining both deep content knowledge and contemporary pedagogical skills essential for effective teaching. The FSU Teach Mathematics program is the Mathematics Department's specialized track within this initiative.
The Mathematics Department provides undergraduate and graduate degree options including Bachelor of Science (BS), Bachelor of Arts (BA), Master of Science (MS), Master of Arts (MA), and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programs. (For graduate program specifics, consult the Graduate Bulletin.) High-achieving undergraduates, particularly those entering with prior college credits, may pursue an accelerated combined bachelor's/master's degree pathway, typically completed in approximately five years. A mathematics degree serves as either a cornerstone of liberal arts education or as foundational preparation for professional or graduate studies. Graduates find career opportunities across various sectors including industry, finance, government, and education at secondary or postsecondary levels, while the Actuarial Science program specifically prepares students for careers in insurance and financial services.
Freshman admission is a holistic and selective process, and no single criterion guarantees admission. Rather, we consider all the documentation you submit, and we carefully review your academic record and test scores to ensure that you are prepared for the rigorous curriculum you will encounter at Florida State University.
The courses listed below represent the minimum required for admission consideration:
4 English courses, at least three with substantial writing requirements
4 mathematics courses at the Algebra I level and higher
3 natural science courses, at least two with laboratory experience
3 social science courses
2 sequential courses of a world language or American Sign Language
2 elective courses, preferably in the above subject areas
The following are the minimum scores required for admission to the University, although some departments require higher scores at the graduate level:
Internet based TOEFL (IBTOEFL): 80
Paper based TOEFL (TOEFL): 550
International English Language Testing System (Academic IELTS): 6.5
Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB): 77
Pearson Test of English (PTE): 55
