All course work does not have to be completed prior to applying for admission to the program, but must be completed before beginning the program. Include a plan explaining how you will complete any unmet prerequisites with your application for the program. Consult the Mathematics Department Chair if you have any questions regarding these courses, equivalent courses, or waiver exams
Students should also consult the Education Department regarding other admission requirements for the MAT teacher education program. Admission is competitive; you should begin preparing now. Experience working with children in the public schools is required prior to application to the MAT program. A second language or other multicultural experience is preferred.
