Overview
A deeper understanding of mathematics is one goal of the GCU master's in math education program. A second goal is to learn teaching and classroom techniques to help them become undergraduate math teachers. Theoretical and practical applications of both mathematics and instruction are at the heart of this degree program.Students with a math background who enroll in Grand Canyon University’s Master of Science in Mathematics with an Emphasis in Education degree program will become highly qualified instructors who can fill these openings at postsecondary institutions.This degree is offered in the evening at GCU’s main campus. This allows for working families and individuals with full schedules to advance their education. Students will have an on-campus experience while still maintaining the flexibility that evening classes provide.
