<p>Just for fun, I decided to poke around at a few more schools to find some more people who are teaching math at 4 year colleges but who have only master’s.</p>

<p>Here’s Harvey Lambert, a lecturer in mathematics at the University of Nevada-Reno. He has only a MS. </p>

<p>Here’s Lloyd Best, Associate Professor and chair(!) of mathematics at Pacific Union College. He has just an MA.</p>

<p>Here’s Gary Stafford, a lecturer in the math department at Missouri State University. He has just an MA.</p>

<p>Here is a whole slew of math faculty members at Ball State University who have just master’s. Note, while the majority of them are ‘instructors’, some of them are actual professors. For example, William Eckman and Linley Kay Baker are bonafide assistant professors of mathematics at Ball State despite holding only master’s. </p>

<p>Well, that was enough fun for one day, so I think I’ll stop searching now. I am sure that if I continued, I would find plenty more examples.</p>

<p>The bottom line is this. While I don’t know about anybody else, it certainly seems to me that there are quite a few people teaching math at 4-year colleges despite only having master’s degrees. I think that’s an indisputable fact. We are all certainly entitled to have our own opinions, but we’re not entitled to have our own facts.</p>
