Online Master of Mathematics (MM)

Are you interested in teaching dual-enrollment high school classes or introductory college courses? If you are currently a secondary mathematics educator, the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, offers a fully online master’s degree program to help you achieve the goal of earning your Master of Mathematics degree.

UT’s Master of Mathematics (MM) program is tailored for secondary educators (and online students). Its committed faculty and up-to-date coursework include workshops, professional development, modern classroom technologies, and inclusive techniques.

A Master’s Math Program Tailored for Secondary Educators

The MM program emphasizes the breadth of graduate math knowledge. Unlike traditional programs, which often target future researchers in a particular subfield of math, the MM program considers the mathematical needs of educators. With the new course catalog options, MM students have more pathways to obtain their graduate degrees while being exposed to a wide range of theoretical and computational tools necessary for their careers. Our classes include linear algebra, math modeling, statistics, differential equations, analysis, and more. Beyond coursework, the MM degree utilizes a practical, comprehensive portfolio as a final assessment instead of a thesis or timed exam. This portfolio includes both coursework samples and academic job search documents, so that our students are ready to launch the next stage of their careers immediately upon graduation. Our alumni primarily report additional opportunities for teaching after obtaining their MM degrees, including at the introductory college level. We have also had some alumni transition to industry jobs.
