Applicants for the MSST should have an undergraduate degree in mathematics and should be certified to teach secondary school mathematics. Exceptions may be granted in specific cases; for example, if you do not currently have a teaching certificate, but you will qualify for a secondary mathematics teaching certificate by the time the degree is awarded.
Application Instructions
All applications to the special program for secondary school teachers are handled by the Marquette University Graduate School admissions via the online application system.
You are very strongly encouraged to collect all application requirements and mail them together, along with a copy of your online application in one envelope, with the exception of any required standardized test scores. If you have a copy of the test scores, you are encouraged to submit these as well (although they will be considered unofficial until we receive the official scores from the testing agency). Each letter of recommendation and transcript must be enclosed in their own sealed envelopes, signed across the seal by the issuing party. To apply for admission to this program, after completing the online application, applicants should send to the Graduate School:
- The application fee, if not submitted online;
- Official transcripts from current and previous colleges/universities except Marquette;
- Three sealed letters of recommendation addressing your academic qualifications for graduate study; and
- A photo copy of your teachers certificate, if you currently hold one.
