r/uml SRT 2027, math minor 4d ago

how is the math master’s program here?

hey all! i’m currently a senior sound recording tech major + math minor and i’m considering potentially going to grad school here for math (education focus). i’ve been a math LA for most of my undergrad, and while i applied to that job on a total whim, i’ve actually grown to really love the work. I find helping people learn so rewarding and would love to keep doing this after I graduate in some way, whether full time or as a side hustle. Ideally, I’d prefer a more involved role than essentially just being a TA’s assistant, and I could see myself being a tutor of some sort and/or teaching at a college or maybe a high school. i’m not sure exactly what i want yet, but I’ll have an audio internship in the spring that should help me solidify my overall career wants and post-bachelor’s plans more.

i’m going to talk more with the faculty i know in the math department about this, but i was also wondering if anyone here had any experience with the master’s program that they could share. is it worth the money? would i need additional pre-reqs as someone who’s already passed Calc I-III, Discrete I-II and Complex Variables I? what are you doing now with your degree if you’ve already graduated?
