"I'm simply astonished. I never could've made the connections to a high
school Algebra 1 class that this class bridged for me. Interesting it most
certainly was,and for once I think my students would agree! I was
constantly mesmerized
by the ability these activities had to make these
abstract and seemingly useless skills, pertinent, engaging, and a necessary
means to a worthwhile end. How irresistible it suddenly seems to learn and
do mathematics! I'm excited about the prospect of doing these activities with my students." - Lariza Ramsammy
"After working as an engineer for many years, I wanted a career change. I enrolled in FAU Masters of Science in Teaching Mathematics and I couldn't be happier with my experience so far. The curriculum is challenging but directly relevant to a career in mathematics education. The schedule flexibility allows me to take both online courses and core graduate level mathematics courses at my own pace. I appreciate the professionalism and warm atmosphere of the FAU mathematics department. The professors at FAU set high standards; but give all of the support needed to achieve them. I have also had a great experience working with the other MST students who share both a passion for mathematics learning as well as invaluable professional experience in the field." - Andrew Van Heden
Admission requirements for the M.S.T. program are the same as for the M.S. in Mathematics.
Applicants without a mathematics degree must have taken a substantial amount of upper-division mathematics and will be required to complete MAS 4301, Modern Algebra, and MAA 4200, Modern Analysis, if their equivalents have not been taken. See item [3] on our Frequently Asked Questions page for a list of required prerequisite coursework.
This program requires 24 credits of mathematics courses and 6 credits of education courses at or above the 5000 levels (Candidates without a valid secondary certificate or with less than two years of teaching experience might be required to complete a 6-credit internship). The Mathematical Sciences Department offers one or two 6000-level classes specifically designed for the M.S.T. program each semester (including summers).
Candidates may also choose to write a 6-credit thesis on a (pre-approved) topic of mathematics in lieu of 6-credits of mathematics coursework.
