Master of Science in Teaching with an emphasis on
Secondary Mathematics

This program is most, but not exclusively, suited for people seeking a career change to Secondary Mathematics Education from a related Math or Science field or for established teachers to further their education and earn a Master’s degree. Joining this amazing program can offer those without previous teaching experience the opportunity to possibly teach or assist in teaching lower-level Mathematics courses at the University and work closely with numerous Mathematics faculty. During your time spent in the program you will complete various research projects, including a thesis, and engage in stimulating course work that will teach you to become a more progressive and knowledgeable mathematics instructor.

Mathematic Prerequisites:

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited University
• Two semesters of college-level calculus (Calc I & II, MAT 126/127) or equivalent, both with a grade B or better.
