Overview

Key facts

The Mathematics Education program from Montana State University emphasizes the teaching and learning of middle and high school mathematics and offers a combination of courses addressing key topics in mathematics content and pedagogy.

The Mathematics Education curriculum incorporates equity-oriented, problem-based, and active learning and aligns with recommendations from national professional organizations. The 30-credit-hour program includes four core content courses, two core pedagogy courses, and four electives. Students are approved to take one online course at a time in semesters when they are working full-time as classroom teachers. Completing the program requires two academic years and three summers, one of which is a required in-person summer session. Embedded in the coursework are classroom-based research projects that address specific challenges in teaching, that investigate new instructional strategies, or that allow teachers to design, teach, and assess lessons in mathematics.

The Math Education Master's program can be completed as a hybrid course, with some in-person summer courses offered at Montana State. It can also be completed entirely online, depending on location and employment requirements.

Careers

The entire program is specifically designed to complement a working professional’s present activities in the field, with 80% of the program delivered online and 20% on-campus in Bozeman, Montana. Students take online courses during the academic year and between one and three courses at MSU's campus in an intensive three-week summer format.
