Program Admission Requirements
Extra Requirements:
Writing Sample
Students must complete a writing assessment administered by the Department Mathematics and Statistics during their first trimester of enrollment. Any student who fails the writing assessment must repeat the assessment within three weeks. Any student who fails the second writing assessment will meet with the chairperson of the department to establish a program of remediation.
Advisement
A graduate faculty member from the mathematics/mathematics education area will serve as an area advisor, and her/his signature will be required for the Degree Audit. Any change in a Degree Audit must be initiated by the student and be submitted to the Graduate Office accompanied by written approval from advisors.
Comprehensive Assessment
To meet exit comprehensive requirements, the School of Education and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics are responsible for scheduling, construction, and evaluation of their respective portions of the comprehensive examination. The content of the comprehensive examination will be equally divided between the courses required in education and mathematics discipline. The mathematics portion will consist of two comprehensive exams from courses chosen by student. The degree candidate must pass both portions of the examination. Students should contact the advisor for more information.
Research Component
A research component will be an embedded assignment in the educational coursework.
