Summer Master's Degree Programs
MATHEMATICS EDUCATION
The Master of Science Degree in Mathematics under the Mathematics Education Option is designed for practicing high school and junior college mathematics teachers. The degree consists of 30 semester hours of course work.
Designed specifically to meet the needs of mathematics teachers, the courses may be selected from a variety of areas including mathematical modeling, statistics, linear algebra, geometry, analysis, discrete mathematics, and courses focusing on technology, standards-based curriculum, and assessment. The program of study is individually designed for each student to account for differing interests, backgrounds, and career goals. The capstone project gives teachers the opportunity to try new ideas for improving mathematics achievement in their schools.
Courses are offered on the Bozeman campus each summer. Additionally, two Internet-based courses are offered each summer, fall, and spring.
All course credits may be applied toward teacher recertification.
Summer Session 2009, which begins June 8 and ends July 24 for Mathematics Education, will include the following courses:

SCIENCE EDUCATION
Designed to be completed in two Summer Sessions with five or more semesters interim distance learning course work.
The Master of Science in Science Education degree program is designed for practicing middle school and high school science teachers. This intercollege-interdisciplinary degree is sponsored by the colleges of Agriculture; Education, Health and Human Development; Letters and Science; and Division of Graduate Education. The degree program is coordinated by Intercollege Programs for Science Education.
Thirty semester credits of course work are required for the degree. The program of study begins with summer classes at the MSU campus, continues with distance learning courses that students take by computer-mediated conferencing from their homes or work places, and ends with a second on-campus summer session.
All students complete core courses (12 credits) in education and develop interdisciplinary combinations of courses (18 credits) from offerings in biology, chemistry, earth sciences, microbiology, physics, and other areas. About three-fourths of the courses are offered through a distance learning mode of instruction.
Each student is advised by a three-person faculty graduate committee, and graduate programs are designed taking into account the student’s background, interests, and career goals.
Summer Session 2009 will include the following courses:
June 15 - Aug. 7
BIOL 513 - Terrestrial Ecology of Plains and Prairies
1 credit
BIOL 519 - Biology of Riparian Zones and Wetlands
2 credits
CHEM 580 - Special Topics in Chemistry: Kinetics, Equilibrium, and Thermodynamics
