The
Masters of Arts in Teaching Mathematics degree is offered by the
Department of Mathematics and Statistics.
This
degree has been offered since 1969.
Students should be certified to teach and have a background in math or math
education. Many are high school teachers who attend part-time; all hope to
teach at high schools or two- or four-year colleges
Financial aid is available to qualified students in the form of teaching
assistantships ($9,200- $10,000 for Masters students for nine month academic
year plus full tuition and general fees). Summer support in the range of $1,370
- $2,900 is also available; new students are encouraged to participate in a six
week Summer Fellowship Program which carries a stipend of $1,800. In addition,
the department pays all instructional and general fees. All full-time graduate
students received full funding this past year and all graduate students
requesting summer support received funding this past summer. Women and
minorities are especially encouraged to apply (over 50% of our funded graduate
students are women and/or minorities). Current graduate students find department
stipends ample for their year round expenses due to the low cost of living in
Bowling Green.
