This study investigates the math teacher training programs at Lebanese universities and how these programs differ among most of the Lebanese universities. This study attempts to answer the following question: what are the requirements, similarities and differences among the Lebanese math teachers’ programs? The result of the study revealed that the teacher`s preparation program ,established after war at the universities, has the same characteristics as the one established before war which are characterized by: post graduate programs that prepare teachers throughout a significant amount of math courses, three to four year programs that prepare elementary math teachers, the absence of university level programs that prepare intermediate and secondary teachers, the lack of emphasis of field work, and the quality of the professional learning. These findings will help educators and teachers in Lebanon to know the content of study program. (Published Abstract)
