Master of Arts for Teachers of Mathematics

The Master of Arts for Teachers of Mathematics (MAT) degree is ideal for those who are planning on teaching advanced secondary mathematics such as Dual Enrollment calculus or freshman/sophomore level mathematics courses at local universities. Additionally, the program provides a solid masters-level mastery of the discipline content for those who are pursuing a Ph.D. in Education with an emphasis in mathematics or a Ph.D. in Mathematics with an emphasis in Education. Finally, the program will help graduates develop proficiency in analyzing, evaluating, and synthesizing information, communicating this information effectively as well as an understanding of the ethics and standards in the discipline.

You might be an Math Major if...

  1. You name your dog after a mathematician.

  2. The only reason that you don’t have a math tattoo is because you are still looking for the one that really captures who you are as a person.

  3. The highlight of your week is the new concept that you learned in math class.

  4. You would wait for your car's odometer to hit a landmark figure, have a camera ready in anticipation, then pull over on the highway to take a picture of it.

  5. Doing the calculation in your head of a bill you are expected to pay has saved you from being ripped off.

  6. You believe that every time displayed on a clock is mathematically special, you just need to find the function for how.

  7. You feel you have an obligation to the rest of society to warn your friends and dates not to talk to about math, because you know that once you’ve started you can not shut up.

  8. You get mad at quiz game shows (Jeopardy, for example) for not having any good math questions.

  9. You notice which of the buttons lit up in the elevator are prime numbers.

  10. You have sloppy handwriting when it comes to letters, but your numbers look more beautiful than works by Da Vinci.
