MATHEMATICS EDUCATION

The Mathematics Education division has five faculty members and is in the process of hiring two others. Research specialties of the faculty include research on teaching and learning (at both the K-12 level and the undergraduate level), use of technology, and professional development for practicing teachers. All of the faculty are members of the Center for Research in Mathematics and Science Education (CRMSE), which offers regular colloquia and research seminars.

At the undergraduate level, students wishing to teach secondary school mathematics should pursue the BA degree in mathematics in preparation for the Single Subject Teaching Credential. In order to become certified to teach in public schools in California, graduates with this major are required to enroll in a fifth-year credential program in mathematics.

At the master's level, two master of mathematics programs (each with a teaching emphasis) are offered:

Master of Arts for Teaching Service (MATS) for community college teaching
Master of Arts for Teaching Service (MATS) for secondary teaching
At the doctoral level, the Joint Doctoral Program in Mathematics and Science Education is offered jointly with University of California at San Diego (UCSD) and through CRMSE.
