Course programme
The Certificate in the Mathematical Sciences for Education (CMSE) is designed for high school and junior high school teachers who wish to improve their mathematical background. It is approved for teaching license upgrading in Nova Scotia by the Minister’s Advisory Committee on Teacher Certification.
The CMSE is for students who have a Bachelor of Education or equivalent. Students must gain approval from the Nova Scotia Department of Education prior to enrolling in the CMSE. Please note that teachers who already have a major or minor in mathematics from their undergraduate studies will not be approved for this program. certification.ednet.ns.ca/approved-certificate-programs
