To obtain the MAT degree, the student must complete 36 credits as follows:
- Complete the following required mathematics courses: MATH 8060, MATH
8236, MATH 8036, MATH 8020, and MATH 8040.
- Complete three approved education courses for graduate students only (9
credits), one of which must involve the use of microcomputers in the
classroom.
- One approved course for graduate students only (3 credits) in
Mathematics or Education.
- Choose one of the following three options (9 credits):
- Statistics option: MATH 8010 plus STAT 8005 and STAT 8015, or
MATH 8746 and MATH 8756.
- Mathematics option: three courses in mathematics with the number of 8000
or above, but excluding any one whose last digit is "5", except
MATH 8645, Modern Geometry, which can be included.
- Computer Science option: Three courses in Computer Science with a number
of 8000 or above and with at most two of the form 8—5.
- Pass the MAT comprehensive examination which is composed of two
parts:
- The Mathematics part is three hours in length and covers the courses
MATH 8060, MATH 8236, MATH 8036, MATH 8020, and MATH 8040. The
examination consists of two questions from each of the five courses and
