Graduate Program in Middle School Mathematics
This graduate program includes the mathematics content and mathematics pedagogy courses from the Master's of Education in Middle School Mathematics (A and B above). These courses have been approved by the State of Maryland to be included as part of the courses to get an add-on certification through credit count to a current teaching certificate in Middle School Mathematics. In order to get this add-on endorsement in Middle School mathematics, you need to submit your transcripts to MSDE with 12 undergraduate or graduate mathematics credits that are also approved by the State.
