If I wanted to major in mathematics and planned on becoming a professor?

Question by 2447: If I wanted to major in mathematics and planned on becoming a professor?

If I wanted to major in mathematics and planned on becoming a professor, would I have to take the same classes in college as someone planning to teach 7-12 graders? Or do we take different courses in graduate school but the same in college?

You would typically major in mathematics rather than mathematics education, so no. However, you could major in any math related field such as math ed or engineering.
