Online Graduate Certificate in Mathematics
Mathematics
Program Overview
If you want to become a math teacher for dual enrollment classes, the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, offers an online Graduate Certificate in Mathematics. This program equips secondary educators with the credentials they need to teach dual enrollment and provides a head start on their master’s in mathematics. All the courses this math certification offers are fully online and span various topics. They are centered on advanced mathematical content with an emphasis on the specific needs of educators.
Attain the Credentials to Teach Tomorrow’s Mathematicians
The University of Tennessee’s Mathematics Graduate Certificate is primarily intended for secondary educators interested in dual enrollment teaching (i.e., courses that can count for high school and college credit). This certificate program consists of 18 graduate credit hours of coursework, a standard minimum qualification for high school teachers to teach dual enrollment math classes. Courses in this certificate consist of a subset of the ones required for the Master of Mathematics (MM) degree program, and they help teachers advance their mathematical training by emphasizing deeper understanding in a wide variety of topics. Unlike traditional graduate coursework for research mathematicians or math education classes, the Mathematics Graduate Certificate courses focus on advanced mathematical content with an emphasis on educators’ needs.
Admission Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree
- Applicants must have completed one year of calculus (141-142 or equivalent) and a mathematics course beyond the calculus sequence.
