The Master of Arts in Education (M.A.E.) in Mathematics Education program is designed for individuals interested in gaining expertise in mathematics education and strengthening their background in mathematics.

Program Courses

The program offers flexible options to ensure that it can support a range of academic and professional goals. Students can choose from one of the following programs of study:

  • A 30-credit degree option with studies focused on important issues in mathematics education.
  • A combined 30-credit degree option with our Educator Preparation Institute (EPI), which offers aspiring teachers an 18-credit EPI licensure program plus the additional 12 credits needed for the MAE. Students interested in this option must also apply to the EPI program by April 15th and plan to start during the summer term.
  • A 36-credit degree option that includes 18 graduate credits in mathematics. Although this is a higher-credit option, it is a popular choice for anyone interested in teaching mathematics in a community college.

All three options require 18 credits of course offerings within the School of Teaching and Learning, including a thesis or project-in-lieu of thesis.
