• The program is designed for professionals who possess either an elementary or secondary teaching certificate. MSSE students can elect to integrate studies of either literacy or the environment into their curriculum. To accommodate the different science content background of teachers with elementary or secondary certificates, this degree program has two tracks: one for K-8 teachers (Track I) and one for 6-12 teachers with BS or BA degrees in a science discipline (Track II).
  • Depending on a student’s background, a combination of the Tracks may be appropriate at the discretion of the MSSE Coordinator. The degree consists of 30 semester hours, available to both full and part-time students although courses will be primarily offered during the late afternoon and evening sessions or in the summer to accommodate the working professional.
