The Mathematics Education faculty in the School of Teaching & Learning are pleased to offer doctoral degrees in Curriculum & Instruction with an emphasis in Mathematics Education. The doctoral degree earned by students in mathematics education is the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.).
What to Expect
Expectations of doctoral studies in the mathematics program may include but are not limited to the following:
Complete and submit manuscripts to math education journals
Co-facilitate and engage in professional development workshops for teachers of mathematics
Teach undergraduate mathematics education courses
Supervise preservice teacher interns
Assist in the research, service, and teaching program of the math education facility
Be active with the graduate student organizations in the college
Facilitate own professional growth through scholarly reviews
Timeline for Completion of the Doctoral Program
Of course, the planned program of study for each doctoral student is different. There are many variables that determine how long it will take a student to complete a doctoral program (e.g., course load, adherence to the planned program, factors related to dissertation research, etc.) On average, students can expect to complete the doctoral program in 3-4 years with full-time enrollment during the fall, spring, and summer terms.
