MS in Mathematics Education at Florida State University
Because of the nature of course assignments, the online Master’s Degree Program in Mathematics Education is restricted to practicing middle and high school mathematics teachers and is designed to meet the needs and professional goals of those who may be preparing for leadership roles in mathematics education. Practicing middle and secondary teachers can earn, completely online, one of two advanced degrees that focus on the teaching and learning of mathematics in middle and high school. The program does not emphasize content development but focuses on mathematics teaching methods, research, pedagogy, and philosophy. Although the curriculum includes 7 hours of mathematics content for teachers, content is embedded within many of the courses. The courses are not designed to satisfy requirements for those desiring to teach community college mathematics. No travel to Tallahassee is required. Internet access is necessary with most courses requiring access to high speed internet (school LAN, DSL, or cable modem).
