Graduate Certificate in Ethnomathematics

The Ethnomathematics program creates opportunities to develop teachers as leaders through the following objectives:

• Increase knowledge of culturally-sustaining mathematics content aligned with K–12 federal and state standards and values-based frameworks;
• Prepare teachers as leaders to provide instruction and professional development in Ethnomathematics in their schools, districts, and communities; and
• Strengthen sustainable campus-community networks leading to college, career, and community readiness.

Many of our students choose to enroll concurrently in this program and in the College of Education’s Master’s track in Math Education.

International Student Visa

International students enrolled in fully online or primarily online degree or certificate programs are not eligible for issuance of the Form I-20 required to apply for an F-1 student visa to study in the United States. Students participating in online programs must complete their coursework from outside the United States unless they hold another valid immigration status that permits study in the U.S.

For the purposes of international student visa eligibility, a “primarily online” program refers to a program in which the majority of coursework or instructional delivery is conducted online or through distance education methods, even if the program may include limited in-person, hybrid, residency, or short-term on-campus components.
