Graduate Programs

MS: Mathematics and Science: The Department of Mathematics collaborates with the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics in this degree, which is designed for students who wish to acquire a breadth of knowledge that cannot be achieved within any one discipline. The degree may be useful for secondary or middle-school teachers who do not desire a traditional MAT program; for those who wish to develop skills in areas of overlap in these disciplines; for those who wish to study the interrelationships among the disciplines; and for those who wish further preparation for careers in industry or government. Degree requirements are listed under Mathematics and Science in the bulletin. Inquiries about this program should be directed to Gary Burdick (269) 471-3501 gburdick@andrews.edu

Mathematics Endorsement Program for Middle School Educators: The Mathematics Department collaborates with the School of Education and the Berrien County Intermediate School District to administer the Alternative Certification Experimental Program (Math Endorsement Program) for Middle School Educators. Courses for this Program are listed under Mathematics Education. Inquiries about this program should be directed to Larry Burton (269) 471-3465 burton@andrews.edu; Lynelle Weldon (269) 471-3866 weldon@andrews.edu; or Judy Wheeler (269) 471-7725 ext. 302 jwheele@remc11.k12.mi.us
