Program Description

The Mathematics Education Leadership Program prepares individuals for a variety of leadership positions in mathematics education. There are two concentrations in mathematics education at the Master's Degree level, and a specialization in mathematics education at the Ph.D. level. In the 33-credit Master's Degree, students can select the Math Specialist Leader K-8 concentration or the Mathematics Education Leader concentration. Both concentrations are unique programs for individuals who desire part-time study to become specialists in the teaching and leadership of school mathematics. Students in the Mathematics Education Leadership Master's degree concentrations study teaching, research, curriculum, and mathematics content. They also explore school-based leadership issues in mathematics education.

There is also a specialization in Mathematics Education Leadership in the Ph.D. Program. The Ph.D. specialization in Mathematics Education Leadership focuses on issues in curriculum design and evaluation, the preparation and professional development of mathematics teachers, leadership in mathematics at all levels, and the design and evaluation of mathematics education research. This program prepares individuals for high level leadership positions in mathematics education including: college/university faculty and researchers, school and central office leaders, curriculum and instructional materials developers, state and national agency leaders, and mathematics education consultants.
