Curriculum and Instruction (Mathematics Education)
The Ph.D. in curriculum and instruction with a concentration in mathematics education provides opportunities for research in the teaching and learning of mathematics in K-12. Candidates may concentrate in:
- The design of learning and teaching environments.
- The development and application of technologies for mathematics learning.
- The study of students' mathematical thinking.
Program mentors come from the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College and the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
- STEM-OPT
extension eligible:
No
84 credit hours, a written comprehensive exam, an oral comprehensive exam, a prospectus and a dissertation
The following six domains comprise the mathematics education Ph.D. program:
Mathematics Education Concentration (30)
- Twelve credit hours of the mathematics education seminar series.
- Eighteen credit hours pertaining to mathematics education, mathematics and statistics.
Inquiry and Analysis (15)
Advanced design and data analysis in quantitative and/or qualitative research methods.
Core Requirements (6)
Interdisciplinary research seminar in curriculum and instruction and curriculum theory and practice.
Cognate Study (12)
To broaden the student's understanding of the conceptual base and issues underlying the study of curriculum and instruction. Cognate courses should thematically cohere, but can be drawn from a broad range of offerings across the university.
Internships (6)
Research and university teaching internships are required to broaden the training and experience of students.
Independent Research and Dissertation: a minimum of three credit hours of research and 12 credit hours of dissertation leading to completion of an approved dissertation are required.

When it comes to paying for higher education,
everyone’s situation is different. Students can
learn about
ASU tuition and financial aid
options to find out which will work best for them.
What are accelerated programs?
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and
how to apply.
What are concurrent programs?
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
What are joint programs?
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.
What constitutes a new program?
ASU adds new programs to Degree Search frequently. Come back often and look for the “New Programs” option.
What are online programs?
ASU Online offers programs in an entirely online format with multiple enrollment sessions throughout the year. See
https://asuonline.asu.edu/ for more information.
What is WRGP (Western Regional Graduate Program)?
The Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP) provides a reduced tuition rate to non-resident graduate students who qualify. Visit the WRGP/WICHE webpage for more information:
https://graduate.asu.edu/wiche.
Students from western states who select this major may be eligible for a reduced nonresident tuition rate of 150 percent of Arizona resident tuition plus all applicable fees. See more information and eligibility requirements on the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) program
Web site.

A minor is an approved, coherent focus of academic study in a single discipline, other than the student's major, involving substantially
fewer hours of credit than a corresponding major.
Certain major and minor combinations may be deemed inappropriate either by the college or department of the major or minor.
This is only the first required math course. This program may contain additional math courses; See Curriculum for details.
The level of intensity represents a measure of the number and academic rigor of math courses required.

Students pursuing concurrent degrees earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. ASU offers students two ways to earn concurrent degrees: by choosing a predetermined combination or creating their own combination. Predetermined combinations have a single admissions application and one easy to follow major map. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor. Either way, concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests.
Concurrent degree programs are specially designed academic programs which provide high-achieving undergraduate students the opportunity to complete two distinct but complementary bachelor degrees at the same time. Students must meet minimum admissions standards for both programs and be accepted individually by both colleges offering the concurrent program.

Accelerated bachelor's plus master's degree programs are designed for high-achieving undergraduate students who want the opportunity to share undergraduate coursework with graduate coursework to accelerate completion of their master's degree. These programs feature the same high-quality curriculum taught by ASU's world-renowned faculty.

A rolling deadline means that applications will continue to be reviewed on a regular basis until the semester begins. International students should be mindful of visa deadlines to ensure there is time to produce necessary visa documents. Applicants are encouraged to complete and submit application materials as soon as possible for consideration.
A final deadline means that all applications and application materials must be received by Graduate Admissions by the deadline date. Applications that are incomplete may not be considered after the final deadline. Applications that are submitted past the final deadline may not be considered.
A priority deadline means that applications submitted and completed before the priority deadline will receive priority consideration. Applications submitted after the priority deadlines will be reviewed in the order in which they were completed and on a space available basis. An application is complete after all materials are received by Graduate Admissions.
The 24-Month STEM OPT Extension is an additional benefit from United States Citizenship and Immigration Services that allows international students in F-1 status who receive a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree in an approved STEM field to apply for a 24-month extension of their standard 12-month Post-OPT period, twice in a lifetime. This allows international students the opportunity to gain additional off-campus work experience in their field of study after completion of course studies and Post-OPT. The OPT extension does not apply to students completing a degree through ASU Online.
