• BSc in Physics Education at the Auburn University is a 4 year, 126-credit program.
  • It is an on-campus program offered on a full-time basis.
  • The most important factor in ensuring excellence is great STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) teachers, with both deep content knowledge in STEM subjects and mastery of the pedagogical skills required to teach these subjects well.” However, based on recent statistics from the National Taskforce on Teacher Education in Physics, two-thirds of our nation’s high school physics teachers do not have a degree in physics.
  • College answers these needs by providing a deep grounding in both physics and in the pedagogical knowledge to teach physics, thus setting the IIT student apart from other prospective teachers.
  • Students in this program will have all the benefits of studying with the Department of Physics including small class size, close relationships with faculty, and the opportunity to conduct research at nearby facilities such as Argonne National Lab and Fermi National Accelerator Lab.
  • In addition, students take classes, including a classroom internship, with the university's Department of Mathematics and Science Education, a global leader in teaching and learning of the sciences.

  • Upon completion of this degree program, students receive certification to teach high school science and will have the necessary skills to fulfill certification requirements in other states.
