CERTIFICATE OF ADVANCED GRADUATE STUDY
CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION IN MATHEMATICS

This program is designed for experienced educators with Master's degrees who wish to extend their knowledge of specific aspects of instructional methodology, mathematics, and/or curriculum development. Coursework is selected in those areas of study in which students wish to gain more in-depth knowledge, as well as in areas of research and evaluation and social and educational policy. The program:

  • consists of significant required coursework in adult learning and development, research methods, curriculum, and social and educational policy
  • offers opportunities for directed study, internships, or other field experience
  • requires students to submit a thesis project as the program's capstone experience.
  • is geared to serve the needs of master teachers who wish to continue in the same role or to enter new roles as consultants, supervisors or administrators.

Prerequisite: Master's Degree

PLEASE NOTE: Beginning with the Fall 2008 semester, all courses previously using the GMATH prefix will become CMATH; numbers and content will remain the same.
