Opportunities for Graduate Studies in Mathematics Education
The Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Northern Colorado is now accepting graduate students to its revised doctoral program, Mathematics Education PhD to start the program in fall 2024. We will hold a virtual open house to provide information about the program and address questions from prospective students (as well as graduate program coordinators). The open house will be on October 14, 2023 (Saturday) from 10am-1pm (Mountain Time Zone). We will send the link to the virtual open house to those who sign up for the event. To request the link and the event schedule, register for the event:
Please share this information with secondary mathematics teachers and students who are currently completing their master’s degree and looking for a PhD program in mathematics education housed in a math department.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send us an email at mathedphd@unco.edu
Brief information about the revised program: This program is designed for graduate students interested in specializing in mathematics teaching and learning in grades 6-14. Our innovative approach to mathematical pedagogy assumes that a deep understanding of mathematics is fundamental to teaching mathematics, for engaging in mathematics education research, and for supporting reform in mathematics education. The program has three major strands: mathematics, mathematics education, and preparing grades 6-14 mathematics teachers. This program is suited to secondary mathematics teachers who want to continue their education and move into mathematics leadership jobs in K-12 education or a faculty position in higher education, as well as to those with graduate work in mathematics who want to focus on research in mathematics education. In addition, many of our students receive teaching assistantships to help offset the cost of living and part of fees. We provide a tuition waiver to all TAs (during the first 4 years of the program) (i.e., no tuition is paid by the graduate student; however, insurance and other student fees are the responsibility of the student).
Graduates of the program will be able to teach mathematics at several levels, perform research, engage in and further ongoing efforts to improve mathematics education for all students, and serve as leaders in mathematics education.
