Special features or areas of interest that would be of interest to potential doctoral students: 

Mathematics education at the University of Illinois resides under the "Math, Science and Engineering Education" program area of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction. Our programs focus on the theory and practice of mathematics teaching and learning. Graduate students focus on a variety of topics, including social justice issues, problem-based instruction, teacher education, professional development, classroom discourse, curriculum reform, design-based research, and learning technologies. The Illinois College of Education has a particularly strong faculty in the area of equity and social justice education in mathematics education. Champaign-Urbana is a vibrant community with something for everyone, and the cost of living is very low.
