The Mathematics and Science Teaching Program at UC Davis (MAST) is a contribution to the UC Science and Mathematics Initiative.
Our mission is to increase the number and quality of math and science teachers by:
- Enriching students’ experiences in math and science classrooms
- Offering academic opportunities to work in K-12 classrooms
- Giving effective academic advice
- Creating multiple pathways for K-12 teacher preparation
- Meeting the needs of under-represented students
- Reducing the attrition of math and science majors
- Increasing articulation and outreach to high school and community college students

MAST was featured in the 2006 UC Davis Annual Report: section "Preparing great leaders".
"This was the best class I have taken out of all my college classes and has reinforced my decision to become a teacher."
