This program is designed for experienced math teachers who hold a master’s degree and T-5 certification in elementary, middle school, or special education (math concentration). Students will deepen their subject knowledge while learning new teaching methods and completing an applied project. The hybrid schedule (6-8 Saturday meetings per semester) makes this a convenient program for teachers. No GRE or MAT scores required for admissions. To view a video from Graham Fletcher, previous student and MTBoS Superstar, discussing his experience in the program click here.

The K-5 endorsement, which can be part of either degree or a standalone, includes four courses designed to increase elementary teachers’ ability to teach mathematics to all students. Our coursework prepares you to more effectively help your students meet changing and challenging new math standards and expectations. To earn your endorsement, you will take four courses covering topics including: the main content areas of K-5 math (numbers and operations, geometry and measurement, algebra, and statistics); learning theory; methods of instruction; and the effective use of technology and manipulatives.

Part-time, practitioner-based, three-year program (with an optional fourth year, if needed, for dissertation completion) for full-time student affairs administrators provides coursework delivered in a blended format, including distance education with several face-to-face sessions per semester. Graduates go on to student affairs-related leadership roles (i.e., director, dean of students, vice president of student affairs, university teaching, etc.). For more information, contact Dr. Lindy Parker at eddsal@uga.edu or 706-542-9533.

Advanced graduate degrees prepare students to assume roles within career and technical education that blend relevant research with practice to improve teaching and learning. Successful candidates serve in leadership or administrative positions at secondary and post-secondary levels. Degrees prepare for university teaching, research, and other roles related to career and technical education. For more information, contact Dr. Elaine Adams at adamsje@uga.edu.
