Certificate in Mathematics Education

 

Program Objective

In keeping with the mission of The University of Texas at Arlington to provide lifelong learning opportunities, the Mathematics Department has created a Graduate Certificate in Mathematics Education.  The purpose of this certificate is to provide teaching professionals with graduate instruction in Mathematics as a means of maintaining and promoting their professional development.  The certificate provides a post-baccalaureate educational opportunity to teachers that is narrower in scope, and shorter in duration, than its associated graduate degree program. 

 

Admissions Requirements

The terms of admission allow participants to take specific courses approved for the certificate program.  Under these rules, students are admitted as non-degree or special students.  They are not allowed to take courses outside of their program.

 

Any student that later seeks a graduate degree in the MA program may apply 9 to12 hours of course work toward that program if done within 6 years of completion of the certificate by petitioning the Graduate School through her/his prospective academic department.

 

Students must maintain an overall GPA of 3.0 for all courses completed in order to receive the Certificate.

 

Requirements for the Certificate

The Certificate in Mathematics requires students to take and successfully complete, Cotemporary Science 5301 plus at least 9 advanced hours in Mathematics with a minimum GPA of 3.0.

 

The advanced courses available to participants in the certificate program include:

 

SCIE 5301 – Contemporary Science*

MATH - 5336 Number Theory

MATH - 5337 Advanced Placement Calculus

MATH - 5340 Discrete Mathematics

MATH - 5343 Probability and Statistics

MATH - 5347 Mathematical Modeling & Applications
