斯蒂芬奥斯汀州立大学

You’ve taken the first big step on the pathway to success by earning an undergraduate degree, so maintain that forward momentum by starting your master’s degree program at SFA. A graduate degree is an investment in your future, and the faculty and staff in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics are here to help you achieve it.

You can choose to pursue a master’s degree in mathematical sciences with an emphasis in mathematics or statistics, or if you have an undergraduate degree in a non-mathematics field, you can pursue an educational track with a master’s degree in school mathematics teaching with a focus on middle and/or secondary education.

This program is designed specifically for teachers or future teachers who wish to deepen their knowledge of mathematics in order to become a highly qualified mathematics teacher at the middle or secondary level.

Many of the students in this program are ready to begin second careers in teaching after working in engineering or related fields. Others are working teachers who want to expand their opportunities by earning a certification in a different grade level or subject area. Because this program is offered fully online, it can be easily scheduled around a full-time career.

This degree is designed for the person who is teaching or plans to teach middle school mathematics. Those who also are seeking initial certification should consult the College of Education for additional requirements.
