The IU Online Master of Arts for Teachers in Mathematics combines coursework in education and mathematics to prepare you to be a dual-credit instructor at the high school and community college levels.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the Master of Arts for Teachers in Mathematics, student
will develop graduate-level knowledge in three of the following five areas of
mathematics:

1. Core applications of Algebra including Group Theory, Ring Theory, Field Theory,
Commutative and Noncommutative Algebra, Number Theory, and other topics in Algebra.
2. Analysis applications. Topics covered in this area include Real Analysis, Complex Analysis,
Fourier Analysis, and other topics in Analysis.
3. Essential concepts of Topology/Geometry including topics in Euclidean and non-Euclidean
Geometry, Point set topology, Differential Topology, Differential Geometry and other topics
in Topology/Geometry.
4. Differential Equations and Applications including Numerical Methods, Mathematics of
Finance, Graph Theory, Mathematical Physics, and other topics.
5. Key concepts of Probability/Statistics.

Upon completion of the Education component of the M.A.T. in Mathematics, graduates will
be able to—

1. Engage in the development of rigorous curriculum planning and design;
2. Promote college-level studies skills and habits of mind;
3. Use assessment data to inform college-level instructional practices;
4. Prepare dual-credit students for success in college-level assessments;
5. Conduct research to improve dual-credit instruction.
