Program Benefits

SECONDARY EDUCATION CONCENTRATION

This concentration will benefit individuals who (1) are currently teaching mathematics at high school levels, or (2) plan to teach mathematics in high schools levels, or (3) wish to switch careers and would like to obtain the M.S. in Mathematics and also earn credits toward fulfilling the requirements for a High School Teaching Licensure.

APPLIED MATHEMATICS CONCENTRATION

Students get opportunities to explore more advanced topics in mathematics, with a focus on statistics, applied mathematics, or operations research. Typically students have the ability to select from a wide range of courses thought are taught in the evenings. At the end of the program, students engage with a faculty member on a research project in mathematics and then present the work as a report and give an oral presentation to the Northeastern Illinois University community. A variety of students in the program are current high school mathematics teachers looking to gain advancement in their knowledge of mathematics and to be eligible to teach higher-level math courses in their high school.

Entry Requirement 

Admission Requirements:

An applicant’s undergraduate academic record must reflect an overall grade point average (GPA) of 2.75 or higher on a 4.0 scale. All undergraduate work is included in the evaluation. Post-bachelor’s work in graduate-level courses, if any, is expected to average 3.0 (B) or better. Applicants must meet any additional program requirements.
