Program Information
The Advanced Graduate Mathematics Certificate is a program designed for current high school mathematics teachers who are either enrolled in or have completed a master’s degree, are interested in getting credentials to teach concurrent dual credit math courses, and have already completed nine credit hours of graduate mathematics courses through the Graduate Mathematics Certificate or another avenue (for example the SDSU Data Science Certificate ) in order to meet HLC requirements. The 18 credit sequence of the Graduate Mathematics Certificate and Advanced Graduate Mathematics Certificate would allow them to do that.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Content Knowledge: Demonstrate depth and breadth of content knowledge in a core area of mathematics.
- Critical Thinking: Read, analyze, write and present mathematical arguments with clarity.
- Inquiry Analysis: Research current mathematical practices/theorems and communicate findings.
Course Delivery Format
Coursework for this program will be delivered online.
