Most universities will require some sort of math for any major as a "General Education requirement." Some universities will have you take a placement exam before entering college to see what math would suit you the best. For a Biology major, I'm going to bet you need to take a Calculus course. Oh no! Don't fret too much though. Some universities have calculus classes specifically for some majors. (For example, at my school we have "Calculus for Business, Life, and Social science majors" that is required for Biology majors and also "Engineering Calculus" for engineers). I took both and the Calculus for Business, Life, and Social science majors was much easier that the engineering Calculus. This will vary for different colleges and universities though.

Is it true that you need to major math to become a math teacher in NYC schools?

Yes and No. You must take all the credits that a math major has to take if you want to teach High School, but you don't have to have a B.A. in math. Instead, get a degree in education and take the required math classes. The difference is that a Bachelor's in math requires other elective courses that you won't have to take as an education major, such as language classes and other lib-ed requirements Well, I ask this question because some of my friends said that I should major in "Education with math concentration" rather "Math" major.
