Doctoral Degree (PhD) in Curriculum & Instruction
(Specialty: Mathematics Education)The goal of the Ph.D. degree program in Mathematics Education is to build on the educational, professional, and life experiences of each of its students so as to meet their needs, take into account their career goals, and graduate mathematics educators who are well versed and capable in the areas of scholarship, research, teaching, and professional service. Our graduates have accepted positions at major research universities across the country.
While students who apply for admission to the doctoral program typically have three years of full-time teaching experience at the elementary, middle, or high school levels, we welcome students who have not had these experiences, or who have non-traditional teaching experiences.
