Dear Applicant:Thank you for your interest in the Master of Arts in Teaching Mathematics degree program at Salem State College. This program is intended to meet the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' requirements for standard certification to teach Mathematics at the secondary level. It includes a Mathematics research and pedagogy core, a number of courses dealing with educational issues, a Mathematics core of 21 credits, and a clinical experience intended to be the program's capstone.
The graduate Mathematics programs at Salem State College have been designed to be especially convenient for students wanting to pursue a graduate degree in Mathematics on a part-time basis. Each course is generally offered one evening a week in the Fall and Spring semesters (from 4:30 - 6:50 pm or from 7:00 - 9:20 pm) or two evenings a week in the six week periods of Summer I (May - June) or Summer II (July - August).
If your application is not complete at this time, you may register for up to three appropriate graduate courses, in consultation with the program advisor. As long as you get a grade of "B" or better in each course, these would count toward program requirements once your application is approved.
If you contact me, I would be glad to mail you application and letter of recommendation forms. Applicants will be considered for admission when all requested materials have been received. Entrance into the program may be made in September, January, or May; whichever is convenient for the student's course of study.
Should you have any questions about the program, please feel free to contact me at 978-542-6289 or at maura.murray@salemstate.edu .
