A person who holds a bachelor's degree or a higher degree with a minor in mathematics that was conferred by a regionally accredited college or university shall be deemed to have qualified for a comprehensive minor in mathematics if he or she has satisfied the requirements of NAC 391.120.6. A recipient of a comprehensive minor in mathematics may teach in grades 7 to 12, inclusive, any course in mathematics included in the course of study adopted by the Board up to and including Algebra II and Geometry I.7. A person who received an endorsement to teach mathematics before January 14, 1998, but who has not fulfilled the requirements for calculus, may teach in grades 7 to 12, inclusive, any course in mathematics included in the course of study adopted by the Board up to and including Algebra II and Geometry I.8.
