The Faculty of Education offers innovative pre-service, graduate and

mathematics majors (in Geometry, History of Math, and Research in 
Mathematics Education). A number of these majors are in concurrent 
programs with the Faculty of Education while others are preparing for 
Consecutive Education. In addition, the Graduate Program in Mathematics 
and Statistics offers a course-based MA in Mathematics for Teachers, with 
courses targeted at current teachers at high school or college. The 
Graduate Programs in Education and in Mathematics and Statistics jointly
