Whether you're a current educator or a professional looking to expand your qualifications, the Graduate Mathematics Certificate at Dakota State University is an excellent entry point into advanced mathematical study.

This nine-credit program builds a strong academic foundation in graduate-level mathematics. You will explore topics like linear algebra, number theory, geometry, and mathematical reasoning. These essential subjects serve as a stepping stone to our Advanced Mathematics Graduate Certificate and the start of a role in teaching dual-credit courses.

Is the mathematics graduate certificate right for me?

This certificate is ideal for:

  • Secondary mathematics teachers who are beginning the path toward certification to teach dual-credit math courses.
  • Educators who are enrolled in or have completed a master’s degree program.
  • Professionals who want to strengthen their knowledge in mathematics.

This program along with the certificate in advanced mathematics can be completed entirely online or right here in Madison, so you can grow your credentials without putting your career on hold.

This certificate alone does not meet the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) requirements to teach dual credit math courses. When paired with the Advanced Mathematics Graduate Certificate, you will be qualified to teach entry-level college mathematics.

Learning outcomes

Upon completion of the Graduate Mathematics Certificate, students will:

  • Demonstrate a solid understanding of key graduate-level mathematics concepts
  • Communicate and explain foundational mathematical ideas with precision
  • Apply advanced mathematical reasoning to real-world and classroom problems
