It is expected that all students completing a mathematics education Ph.D. will demonstrate knowledge and skills in this common core of competencies plus an area of specialization and write a dissertation. For each individual scholar, coursework serves as the basis for investigating a significant educational issue that will advance the field of Mathematics Education and prepare the student for future research. Every student in the Ph.D. program in mathematics education constructs a program of study based on the scholar’s professional goals. Specializations are available based on the expertise of doctoral faculty. As a hybrid, part-time program, degree completion in 4–6 years is typical.
