Master of Science in Mathematics Learning & Teaching
45.0 quarter credits
Degree Requirements
The MS in Mathematics Learning and Teaching program involves the completion
of 45.0credit hours of courses and will position teachers to implement high-quality, student centered
instruction. The required courses in this program fall into three categories:
- the education core (10 credits) provides students with a breadth of expertise in student-centered, technology-intensive instruction
- the mathematics education core (30 credits) involves student-centered pedagogy courses and a full year of lesson study, implementation, and analysis (in the spirit of action research). The mathematics education core concludes with a capstone research course that provides participants with an introduction to research in mathematics education, including reading and discussing seminal articles and reviewing the literature on a given topic with an emphasis on topics with personal relevance to each individual teacher.
- elective courses (5-6 credits) allow participants to tailor their degree experience to their interests and career paths.
