Typically, the program of studies for the Master of Education (Ed.M.) degree should include 42 points in courses in mathematics and mathematics education within the minimum requirement of 60 points. Preparation in mathematics content should be of sufficient depth to provide leadership to elementary and secondary school teachers. Content courses may be selected from courses offered by the department or from courses offered by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Columbia University. Students interested in developing research competencies for further graduate study should elect at least 6 points in statistics.
