Overview

The College of Science’s Science Education program offers courses that aim to develop research-based approaches to teaching and learning at the secondary and higher education levels. In cooperation with the Connie L. Lurie College of Education  and the Department of Teacher Education , we oversee the single subject teacher credential program in science  through advising, coursework offerings and student teacher supervision. We support the preparation of justice-centered, socially responsive science teachers in the areas of biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics. In addition, we offer a master’s degree in Science Education engaging our students in innovative science education research. We also train undergraduate learning assistants, and we offer a minor in Science Education.
