MA in Mathematics Education

Graduate students will extend their own understanding of mathematics and deepen their understanding of learners mathematical thinking. Our 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 in course work that (1) allows students to explore new mathematical understanding in both personal and social contexts; (2) immerses students deeply in exploration, inquiry, analysis and exposition; and (3) familiarizes students with the everexpanding body of research literature on learning and teaching mathematics and with prevailing research methodologies.
