About Program
Come to Hungary to immerse yourself in mathematical exploration and experience first-hand learning in the Hungarian mathematics pedagogy, then investigate how you can bring this pedagogy into your future classroom.
In the spirit of Hungarian instruction, BSME faculty will challenge our participants to take part in creating, rather than just learning, the material. BSME courses are designed so that credits will be transferable to American and Canadian colleges and universities, with transcripts issued by St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN.
BSME welcomes students who are:
1) Currently pursuing secondary mathematics teaching license at their home institutions
2) Planning to pursue other paths to mathematics licensure
3) In-service math teachers of all ages
4) Simply curious about learning and teaching of mathematics
