Master of Arts in Mathematics

There’s no better place to master mathematics! Jacksonville University’s program combines advanced courses with a strong emphasis on applied mathematics. Our graduates are experienced and knowledgeable. Many also are mathematics teachers who inspire students to learn and apply mathematical concepts in meaningful ways.

When you enroll in the Master of Arts in Mathematics program, you’ll join a cohort of students working to advance their mathematical knowledge, learn new teaching strategies, and polish their classroom technology skills.  You’ll experience small classes taught by top-notch faculty.

With a Master of Arts in Mathematics, you can:

  • Teach students the real power of mathematics by making the “invisible” visible.
  • Bring mathematical concepts off of the textbook page and into the real world, predicting the future and understanding motion and change.
  • Enhance your own knowledge of mathematics in a supportive, collaborative, learning environment.
  • Join a network of highly educated, professional teachers who are committed to excellence in mathematics education.
  • Earn a degree that provides the credentials necessary to teach mathematics on the undergraduate level in community colleges and technical schools.
