The Graduate Certificate in Mathematics Education is designed for Ph.D. students in other programs who are interested in connections between mathematics and mathematics education. The program advances knowledge across different departments of mathematics in order to give a well-rounded foundation for teaching and teacher preparation. It is especially designed for Ph.D. students in Mathematics and other STEM fields who have an interest in the teaching and learning of mathematics.

This program exposes a student to a range of mathematics learning techniques through courses involving technology and problem solving, research, field experience or a practicum, and a selection of electives. The program is extremely flexible as students are given a varied choice of required courses. To fulfill this program’s requirements, students take 15 semester hours of courses across various areas of focus that include: technology and problem solving, research studies and methods, the critique of a math education, and field experience and practicum including an internship.
