You will develop your pedagogical content knowledge, mathematical knowledge for teaching, and tools and techniques for creating an equitable classroom that supports all students. You\u2019ll also leave the program prepared to receive your initial license to teach mathematics in middle or high schools.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MAT in Mathematics Education is designed for students who majored in mathematics or who have taken a minimum of six mathematics courses beyond Calculus I. You&#8217;ll explore courses that provide extended and in-depth focus on the teaching and learning of mathematics content. Program graduates complete courses in professional education, additional graduate courses in mathematics and mathematics education, and a student teaching experience.  This flexible program can be completed full time (one year plus a summer session) or part time, and can be started in the summer or fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-dark-color has-text-color has-text-align-center\">Dates &amp; Deadlines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column date-deadline\">\n<h6>Spring &amp; Fall 2024 <\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h4>Aug 15, 2023<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Application Open<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column date-deadline\">\n<h6>Spring 2024 Semester<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h4>Dec 15, 2023<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Application Deadline<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column date-deadline\">\n<h6>Fall 2024 Semester<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h4>Jan 15, 2024<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Deadline to Receive Priority Scholarship Consideration<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column date-deadline\">\n<h6>Fall 2024 Semester<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h4>Aug 1, 2024<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Application Closes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-primary-background-color has-background person-spotlight\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h2 class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color has-text-align-center\">Featured Faculty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The faculty in the Boston University Mathematics Education MAT program have taught a variety of grade levels and researched a wide range of topics in mathematics education.
