进入该课程的学生需要获得相当于数学学士学位的学位. 教学选择需要研究生委员会批准的30个研究生学习单元. The following course work must be included:

       (1) MATH 581: Studies in Geometry (3 units)

       (2) MATH 582: Studies in Algebra (3 units )

       (3) MATH 584: Studies in Analysis (3 units )

       (4) MATH 586: Studies in Discrete Mathematics (3 units )

       数学587:数学问题解决研究(3 units )

       (6) MATH 599: Independent Graduate Research (3-6 units )

每个学生将被要求参加导师批准的数学选修课程,以满足30个单元的要求. Possible elective courses include:

MATH 580: Studies in Mathematics History (3 units )

MATH 583: Topics in Statistics (3 units )

在研究生指导老师的同意下,可以选修其他课程. 最后,所有学生必须通过四项综合考试. Comprehensive exams may be taken at most twice.

 

Careers

The Master of Arts in Mathematics, 教学选择计划是为高中或社区大学的现任和未来教师设计的. 完成该项目的学生现在在当地的几所高中和社区大学任教. 其他完成该课程的学生将继续攻读数学教育博士课程.

Those wishing to become high school teachers must earn a Single Subject Credential in Mathematics; the Master of Arts does not, on its own, certify one to teach high school mathematics. Most high school teachers earn the Credential first, 并在担任高中教师期间完成文学硕士学位.
