The Secondary Teacher Option Masters Program
The Secondary Teacher Option Masters Program is a part-time program specifically designed for provisionally certified teachers of mathematics in grades 7-12.
The usual admission requirements for this program include:
NOTE: The Graduate Record Examination is not required for this program.
The program consists of 30 credits of mathematics or
related courses. The required courses, MAT 511 through MAT 519 are given on a
rotating basis. There are usually two courses in the evenings every fall and every
spring semester; one course in the evening in the first summer session; and two
courses, afternoon and evening on the same days, in the second summer session.
There are nine required courses:
MAT 511, Fundamental Concepts of Mathematics
MAT 512, Algebra for Teachers
MAT 513, Analysis for Teachers I
MAT 514, Analysis for Teachers II
MAT 515, Geometry for Teachers
MAT 516, Probability and Statistics for Teachers
MAT 517, Calculators and Computers for Teachers
MAT 518, Seminar on the Uses of Mathematics
MAT 519, Seminar in Mathematics Teaching
Students are also required to take a three credit elective,
which must be approved by the Director of the Program. The elective should be
in a mathematics related field, including mathematics education.
Students should be aware that they can transfer at most 12
credits from other programs, including other programs at Stony Brook, and they
can transfer at most 6 credits from programs outside Stony Brook.
Application forms can be obtained online from the
Mathematics Department web site. Please direct questions to the Director of
this Program:
