Master of Science in Mathematics Education

The Department of Mathematics Education offers a program of graduate study that leads to a Master of Science degree in Mathematics Education. Through the experiences this program offers, graduate students extend their own understanding of mathematics and deepen their understanding of learners' mathematical thinking. The department values close, detailed mentoring of each graduate student as an active member of the scholarly community - a community devoted to exploration and inquiry into the learning and teaching of mathematics. Our program emphasizes interactions with faculty (both in and out of the classroom) that (a) allow students to explore new mathematical understanding in both personal and social contexts; (b) immerse students deeply in exploration, inquiry, analysis and exposition; and (c) familiarize students with the ever-expanding body of research literature on learning and teaching mathematics and with prevailing research methodologies. The cumulative experiences of our program prepare graduates to enter top mathematics education doctoral programs, to take on important leadership roles in school mathematics education communities, and to return to classrooms better equipped to teach lessons that are informed by students' mathematical thinking.
