MAT and MST Course Reduction Proposal

The graduate committee recommends the reduction of the total number of credit hours in mathematics for the Master of Arts in Teaching and Master of Science in Teaching from 24 to 18.

Current language:

At least 36 semester hours of work must be completed. Usually at least 39 hours are necessary for the MAT degree and at least 45 hours are necessary for the MST degree. This must be distributed as indicated below. (Please consult the Course Guide for course abbreviations.)

  1. 24 hours in mathematics courses numbered 5000 or above. This must include the sequences MAS 5311-2 and MAA 5228-9.

Proposed language

At least 36 semester hours of work must be completed. This must be distributed as indicated below. (Please consult the Course Guide for course abbreviations.)

  1. 18 hours in mathematics courses numbered 5000 or above. This must include the sequences MAS 5311-2 and MAA 5228-9.

The latter part of the slides for my presentation to the faculty (November 13, 2014) have information about the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) and Master of Science in Teaching (MST) degrees and reasons for the proposed change.

See the departmental page on the MAT and MST degrees for further information.
