Overview

Students in the Mathematics Education degree program at Boston University prepare for Massachusetts initial teacher licensure and further strengthen their chosen academic fields. Program graduates complete courses in professional education, additional graduate courses in their content fields, and a student-teaching experience.

The Master of Arts in Teaching Program is a 12-month program for full-time students seeking initial licensure for teaching at the middle, junior, or senior high school levels in accordance with requirements in the state of Massachusetts. Licensure reciprocity exists with many states, but students should investigate specifics in the state of anticipated residence.

Key facts

The program begins in July each year, though in some cases students may begin in September. It is also possible to complete the degree over a longer time period as a part-time student.

Students complete four courses in their chosen field of study in the Wheelock College of Education & Human Development focused on pedagogical content knowledge or in the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences focused on advanced content knowledge.

The professional education component consists of the study of curriculum and methods of instruction, adolescent development and learning, topics in special education, urban education, and foundations of education. Students complete a two-semester practicum experience culminating in student-teaching. This combination ensures strength in the field of study combined with a comprehensive set of teaching skills appropriate to adolescents.
