Admission Requirements

Applicants must meet the general requirements for graduate study outlined in the Towson University Graduate Catalog. The applicant must possess current certification for teaching secondary school mathematics for the Secondary School Track or teaching elementary school for the Middle School Track. In some circumstances, which are determined by the director of the program, an applicant's recent two years documented full-time teaching experience may replace the certificate requirement. For the Secondary School Track, the applicant should have an undergraduate degree (or M.A.T.) in mathematics with a secondary education concentration or the equivalent, with a minimum undergraduate grade point average of 3.00 for full admission and 2.50 for conditional admission. For the Middle School Track, the applicant should have an undergraduate degree in Elementary Education or the equivalent with a minimum undergraduate grade point average of 3.00 for full admission and 2.50 for conditional admission. All GPA calculations for admission are based upon the last 60 credits of undergraduate and post-baccalaureate study.
