Description of Major
FSU-Teach is an innovative approach to teacher education that involves collaboration between scientists, mathematicians and education faculty at Florida State University. Computer Science students in the FSU-Teach program will develop their technical knowledge and programming skills as well as gain valuable experience needed to be an effective Mathematics teacher. Computer Science coursework will include coursework in mathematics appropriate to Computer Science, programming, database systems, operating systems, and fundamental algorithms. The program will pay for tuition for the first two Education/Teaching courses. Part time positions with scientists, mathematicians and local schools are available. For more information, see our web site, .

This is a double-major only program. FSU-Teach majors are first admitted into their primary, discipline-specific major and must meet the statewide common program prerequisites for that major, in this case, the Bachelor of Arts Computer Science degree program. Later, students apply for admission into a secondary major within the College of Education called Secondary STEM Teaching (STEMTEACH). Upon graduation, students are awarded the B.A. degree with majors in Computer Science and STEM Teaching.

Note to prospective transfer students: Prospective transfer students should contact (Arts & Sciences Admissions) with specific questions about admission and mapping requirements.

Requirements
Requirements for graduation in the College of Arts and Sciences include:
The College of Arts and Sciences requires proficiency in a foreign language through the intermediate (2220 or equivalent) level or sign language through the advanced (2614 or equivalent) level.

Admissions/Continuation Requirements to the Major Program of Studies
To be recognized as “formally admitted” into this major, students must meet the following requirements:

1) certification to upper division (or transfer admission into the program as a junior);
2) completion of 18 hours of General Education courses or an AA;
3) satisfactory completion of “Step 1” and “Step 2” courses;
4) a cumulative GPA of at least a 2.50;
5) completion of all the common prerequisite courses for the major; and
6) a passing score on all four parts of the FTCE General Knowledge Test.

Once these are complete, the student must apply to Educator Preparation online at
Limited Access Policy in Computer Science
*The undergraduate programs in computer science are limited access.* The CS-Math/FSU-Teach major requires a minimum 2.50 all college-level work attempted GPA for formal admission. All State Common Program Prerequisites listed as Term 1-4 milestones must be completed with a "C" range (C minus, C, or C+) grade or better. Students earning less than the necessary grade in any of these courses will be required to retake those courses until the standard is met.

Note: retaking a course may delay graduation and incur increased fee liability (i.e., repeat course surcharge and excess credit surcharge).

Upon formal admission into the program, the student must:
• complete all courses required for the major with a grade of "C minus" or better;
• maintain a 2.5 all-college-level-work-attempted GPA, excluding the Term 1-4 State Common Prerequisites milestone courses;
• not receive more than 3 unsatisfactory grades combined in Programming I (COP3014 or COP3363) and Object-Oriented Programming (COP3330);
• not accumulate more than 5 unsatisfactory grades (U, F, D minus, D, D+) in courses required for the major, excluding Term 1-4 State Common Prerequisites milestone courses, taken after enrolling at FSU.
