Students take practical courses covering concepts and activities relevant to the physical science topics that they will be teaching. Students have the opportunity to develop and practice pedagogical skills by working as a Learning Assistant for their physics courses. Students are also encouraged to participate in the Society of Physics Students which is involved in a range of outreach events. In addition to formal and informal education students may participate in various research projects. To receive the B.S. Degree in Physics Education, the student must meet the minimum university requirements and specific requirements for the program.
