Science and Math Education

Master of Education

(32 Credit Hours)

Science and Math Teachers

This program is designed for science and math educators who want to strengthen and broaden their knowledge in the natural sciences and mathematics and develop their pedagogical content knowledge and instructional skills. The program is intended for a wide variety of educators including primary and secondary (K-12) school teachers, as well as informal educators such as those employed by museums, zoos or aquaria, environmental education centers and similar facilities.

Science and math courses are taught using best-practice methods intended to inspire learners through hands-on and minds-on inquiry-based approaches. Courses also connect standards-based subject matter with real-world applications, integrate knowledge across disciplines and incorporate the use of modern classroom, lab and field-based experiences and technologies.

Education courses complement the science and math courses by exploring cognitive, policy and educational research as they apply to the practice of teaching.
