About the Credential Program in Mathematics and Statistics

This program in mathematics and statistics is designed to provide graduate-level credentials to allow high school teachers to teach college-level mathematics courses in their high schools through College Credit Plus (CCP). In addition, teachers completing this program will meet the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) standards for eligibility to teach courses in Ohio public community colleges and universities. Students who complete the Certificate program are well-positioned to enter the MS Program in Mathematics.

Admission Requirements and Process

Secondary math teachers who wish to pursue the teaching credential/certificate must complete the following steps:

• Apply through Wright State's Graduate School. The options for applying to the CCP certificate and credential programs are in the online application.
• Submit proof of a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, statistics, or equivalent.
• Submit an official transcript showing the award of a master’s degree in any field, unless from Wright State.

The application form must be completed with all the required documents attached. The form when completed must be signed and dated. All application materials become the property of the Graduate School and cannot be returned.

Send application materials to:

Graduate School
