the College of Science offers the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) Mathematics Program

Note: course offerings may be going through some reorganization, so be sure to check with the advisor to be sure

Until recently, we maintained a distinction between the “non-Cohort track” (http://www.math.utep.edu/grad/masterart.html; most recent Advisor: Dr. Helmut Knaust, hknaust@utep.edu, Bell 124, 747-5761) and the “Cohort-track” tailored for working teachers (the program’s benefits, requirements, degree plan, application procedures, etc. are explained at http://www.science.utep.edu/mat/ or http://www.math.utep.edu/mat; most recent Advisor: Dr. Kien Lim, kienlim@utep.edu, Bell 301, 747-6772). The cohorts started each year and each lasted 2 years (e.g., Cohort #1 went from June 2003-May 2005).

Here’s a tentative schedule of future MAT courses.

Planned Schedule for MAT-Mathematics Program for In-Service Teachers beginning Fall 2009:

In-Service Teachers Program
Year	Fall	Spring
2009/10	MATH 5360a* MATH 5370a	MATH 5365 MATH 5370b
2010/11	MATH 5311 MATH 5370c*	MATH 5360b STAT 3300
2011/12	STAT 5385 MATH 5370d	MATH 5396 MTED 5326

*Can be counted for the Master Mathematics (MMT) Teacher Certification Program.

Note: With the exception of 2 education courses, all MMT certification courses will be counted towards a degree in MAT-Math.

the College of Education offers graduate program options as well:

The Teacher Education Department offers graduate programs that provide advanced professional education knowledge and skills for application in school and non-school settings. The Master of Arts is designed for students wishing to pursue research and/or continue studies beyond the master's degree level. The Master of Education degree is directed toward mastery of professional education practice. Students pursuing the Master of Education may major in Instructional Specialist or Reading Education. http://academics.utep.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=24673 , http://academics.utep.edu/Default.aspx?alias=academics.utep.edu/tedgrad

the Master Mathematics Teacher (MMT) certificate program (in reading and in math, for teachers at elementary, middle school and high school levels)
