MASTER OF SCIENCE IN MATHEMATICS
EDUCATION
The Mathematics and Computer Science Department
offers a Master of Science degree in mathematics education. The program
continues the professional development of licensed, experienced mathematics
teachers by expanding their knowledge base in three domains (mathematics
pedagogy and curriculum studies, mathematics content, and educational
foundations), enhancing the teachers' awareness of contemporary issues and
trends in mathematics education, and preparing teachers to assume leadership
roles in their schools and in the larger mathematics education communities.
The program serves secondary school mathematics teachers (mathematics majors
or minors with teaching certificates in mathematics) and elementary school
teachers with a mathematics major/minor and mathematics endorsement. The
Master of Science in mathematics education is not a certificate-granting
degree; certification and teaching experience in the field are required for
admission.
Program Requirements
The Master of Science in Mathematics Education (MAED) program includes a
major in mathematics education and supporting areas in both mathematics and
educational foundations.
Admissions Requirements
Applicants are required to comply with the regular admission requirements of
the College of Graduate Studies. In addition, applicants must have an
undergraduate mathematics major or minor, certification to teach
mathematics, and at least one year of mathematics teaching experience at the
level of their certification prior to admission into the mathematics
education program. Applicants also should have a GPA of 2.75 or higher in
previous mathematics courses and meet all NMU graduate program requirements.
