Mathematics for Advanced Secondary Institutions Graduate Certificate

(CMASI)

The Graduate Certificate Program in Mathematics for Advanced Secondary Institutions serves as a credential for teaching dual enrollment math courses and other math courses taught in high school - such as Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus- that may be recognized for college credit. 

The certificate will require 18 hours of coursework in specialized graduate-level mathematics courses. The program is designed to equip advanced secondary teachers to handle college-level material effectively, use internet­-based instructional technologies to help achieve college-level learning goals, and meet formal SACSCOC requirements for instructors of courses designed for transfer to a baccalaureate degree. Graduates will demonstrate advanced knowledge for teaching mathematics in high-school and through the first several college courses–such as College Algebra and Trigonometry, Calculus, and Statistics–and command of teaching strategies and techniques appropriate for this material. 

Students will take the following courses:

• MATH 4005 Geometry (3)  
• MATH 6303 Implementing Curriculum Standards for Mathematics in High School (1-3)  
• MATH 6893 Seminar in Mathematics for Secondary Teachers (1-3)  
• MATH 4024 Mathematical Models (3)  
• MATH 6303 Implementing Curriculum Standards for Mathematics in High School (1-3)
