The Master of Arts in Teaching Mathematics program provides an opportunity for secondary school teachers to broaden their background in mathematical science and to correlate this knowledge with current education practice.
Students seeking admission to the Master of Arts in Teaching Mathematics should have completed an undergraduate program in mathematics or a closely related field. The applicant must have completed a minimum of six upper division courses in Mathematics with a 3.0 (“B”) average. If an upper division course in algebra is not included in the six courses required as prerequisites, a student entering the program will be required to take an upper division algebra course.
To be considered for admission, students must submit a Graduate Division application, a statement of intent, and transcripts from all colleges/universities attended. A cumulative GPA of 2.8 as an undergraduate or a 3.0 GPA in at least 9 units of graduate level coursework is required. A letter of recommendation addressing the student’s mathematical background and teaching experience, if any, is also required.
