Applicants to the Master of Arts in Mathematics for Teachers Program must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university with an overall GPA of at least 2.5 and an academic or professional background equivalent to at least a minor in mathematics. Selection of participants will be made on the basis of previous academic records, present and potential performance in teaching, and two supporting letters of reference, at least one of which must be from the candidate's supervisor. Applicants who have not taught should submit two letters of recommendation from persons who can comment on the students' potential success in teaching.

Admissions Requirements

Online synchronous courses are delivered via Zoom and Kodiak, a Desire to Learn platform, our easy-to-use learning management system. In the Fall and Spring 15-week semesters, we offer 1-2 courses, meeting online Mondays and Wednesdays, 4:00-5:50 p.m. and 6:00-7:50 p.m. In the Summer term, we typically offer one course over a shorter, 8-week period, with times chosen based on student preference.

The program requires 30 credits (10 courses). A student can complete the MA in Mathematics for Teachers program in 2-3 years studying part-time.

Most teachers choose the MA in Mathematics for Teachers program because it satisfies the master’s program requirement for obtaining the Professional License in Massachusetts, or the equivalent license in other states.

For Massachusetts teachers who hold an Initial License and have a master’s degree in an area other than mathematics, the state provides a “12-credit” option to obtain a Professional License with subject matter knowledge in mathematics. All of our MAMT courses can count towards the 12 credits of content-based courses necessary to complete the master’s program requirement for Professional Licensure.
 
Please see the on the Massachusetts DESE website for more information.

Please refer to the 杏吧直播app Licensure and Certification Disclosures webpage for information about state-specific licensure requirements for other states.

Upon your acceptance into the MA in mathematics for Teachers program, you will meet with the Chair of the Department of Mathematics for an initial advising appointment and to plan out the completion of your degree. After you successfully complete a few courses, you have the option of switching your advisor to one of our other faculty members. Typically, you will meet with your advisor two or three times per year to assess progress and select courses.

The Department of Mathematics is composed of 14 full-time faculty members. These mathematicians are professionally active on the national and regional levels through their research and their professional affiliations. They have Ph.D.s from a wide range of prestigious universities, and some of their research interests include analysis, algebra, mathematics of origami, statistics, algebraic geometry, graph theory and combinatorics, number theory, applied mathematics, analysis of algorithms, and actuarial science.
