• The degree of Master of Science in Science Education aims to fill the need to provide advanced preparation for certified science teachers. Changes in societal demands brought about by advances in science and technology, as well as socio-cultural changes in the high school clientele make the continual re-tooling of science teachers an absolute necessity.
  • Through a curriculum which combines rigorous science content knowledge with advanced research-based pedagogy, the program seeks to produce a highly competent cadre of science teachers, who have the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to realize a high level of achievement in science in high school students. This program will produce teachers who have a sound knowledge of the discipline, are skilled in facilitating learning, have the competence to assess students' needs in science, and to modify their own instructional practices to meet those needs.
