The Bachelor of Science in at  meets the needs of two audiences:

• Students who want to become high school or junior high/middle school science teachers.
• Students who want a broad exposure to mathematics and the physical sciences, rather than specialization in one discipline.

Learning Outcomes

Students will demonstrate:

• Skills to critically interpret scientific data.
• Logical and critical thinking.
• Analysis and solving of complex problems.
• Strong written and oral communication skills.

Potential Occupations

Graduates with licensure in secondary science education will find a strong demand for high school and junior high/middle school teachers in Colorado and elsewhere in the nation. In addition, these graduates will also have the background required for graduate science education programs.

With proper planning, physical science graduates can meet requirements for professional schools (e.g., medicine or law) or graduate programs in the basic or applied sciences. Internships and volunteer activities can provide practical training and experience.
