Earning a Ph.D. in mathematics education prepares you to work in academia as a professor of mathematics education, mathematics or education; to take on leadership roles in mathematics education; and to be involved in cutting-edge research. The uniqueness of the Ph.D. program at UNH is that it provides you with a strong mathematical background comparable to that of the pure mathematics Ph.D. You will complete coursework alongside graduate students of pure and applied mathematics, as well as specialized coursework in mathematics education. To expand and broaden your preparation you will also pursue study in a related minor field, such as statistics, educational psychology, research methods or STEM disciplines.
