Concentration electives can be in Mathematics or another approved
department. 92.283 and 92.363 cannot be used as math electives. See an advisor from the
Graduate School of Education for approval of
education courses. Select at least two courses from the following for Math
Concentration Electives: 92.410/510 Computers and Calculators in the
Classroom, 92.413/513 Number Theory, 92.421/521 Abstract Algebra, 92.427/527
Geometry, or 92.435/535 History of Mathematical Sciences. No more than 60 Math credits can be counted towards the degree.
Note
This concentration does not give students certification to teach
mathematics. The requirements for certification to teach vary from state to
state. The licensure to teach mathematics usually involves three parts: a
Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics or the equivalent, courses in education and
state exams. Therefore, students considering a teaching career are strongly
advised to see their departmental advisor and to contact the UML Graduate
School of Education. They have information on the credentialing
requirements for many states, and they also have information on the
Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure (MTEL). The courses required in
the Teacher Option prepare students to take and pass these exams.
** Electives may be chosen from any courses from the
University. However, no more than 60 mathematics credits (beyond 92.120 and
92.123) can be counted toward graduation. All mathematics courses have
prefix 92.
#The Analysis courses are to be chosen from a list
of courses provided by the Coordinator.
## Students may receive credit for both
92.385 and 92.386.
Many 500-level
mathematics courses are within the grasp of upper level undergraduate students. Refer to
the day school schedule of classes for graduate course listings. Many graduate courses are
offered in the late afternoon/early evening time frame.
Note: Student who officially applied and were accepted into this
program prior to September 2005 may follow the
previous curriculum outline
for this program.
