This capstone project is the final step in the completion of the program. Graduate students will learn how to write a winning proposal through research and coursework and design a successful mathematics intervention program for their targeted population through both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. The major outcome of this capstone will be to develop an actual funding and grants proposal for their school or district.
Coursework in the math education degree program is conducted entirely online. This approach allows all students – including international students and those who don’t live near our South Florida campuses – to receive and submit coursework and interact with participants and professors via the Internet. This distance education option allows busy professionals the option to complete their degree without having to leave their jobs or travel long distances.
