This program is designed primarily for secondary school mathematics teachers with all classes offered on campus, live via the Internet, and asynchronously. Middle school and community college instructors have also completed it. Courses offer a solid foundation in areas such as geometry, algebra, differential equations, modeling, number theory, discrete mathematics and statistics, while also including many unique, modern applications. Additionally, students develop materials, based on coursework, which may be used in their own classes. Technology is introduced and used whenever appropriate. Examples currently include Matlab, Maple, Excel, Audacity and Geogebra.
Degree Requirements
Candidates for the Master of Mathematics for Educators must successfully complete 30 credit hours of graduate study. This may include a 6 credit project (MME 592-4-6). Classes are offered 3 semesters a year.
The degree may be completed in slightly over two years but all individual scheduling needs can be taken into account.
