Qualification Requirements
A person applying for the doctoral program in mathematics education must have already acquired a master's degree from an accredited college or university, except in certain cases such as admission requests made through fellowship applications such as the McKnight Doctoral Fellowship. The admission committee will consider various master's degrees (e.g., science, arts, education), however, the committee expects the nature of the coursework and other experiences associated with the degree to provide preparation of doctoral study.

Without such background, the applicant should be prepared to build this mathematics content background as part of the doctoral program.
