Suggestions for Selecting a Graduate Program

We have a large Math Ed community at MSU, located in jointly in the College of Natural Science and the College of Education. PRIME is one of the only programs in the United States housed within two colleges and that prepares candidates for a PhD directly in Mathematics Education.

Other PhD programs at MSU can include an emphasis in Mathematics Education.

Information about what to consider when choosing a Math Ed doctoral program.
