Fairleigh Dickinson University's Master of Arts in Science degree program is specifically designed to train teachers to become elementary science specialists. Secondary school science teachers with an undergraduate degree who want to broaden their professional skills and career options also may find the program attractive. The program is open to anyone with a baccalaureate degree in any area of study.

Career Opportunities
The need for qualified science educators has never been greater. The U.S. Department of Education estimates that America will need more than 220,000 new teachers a year by 2008 -- compared to 150,000 a year in the recent past. Already, most big-city schools have experienced severe teacher shortages, particularly in areas of math and science.

In September 2000, the National Commission on Mathematics and Science Teaching for the 2lst Century proposed a comprehensive plan to ensure that every American student receives excellent instruction in math and science -- instruction critical to maintaining the U.S. edge in the competitive global economy.

"We as a nation must take immediate action to improve the quality of math and science teaching in every classroom in this country. If we delay, we put at risk our continued economic growth and future scientific discovery," said Senator John Glenn, chairman of the Commission.

The Commission's report, entitled Before It's Too Late, sets three specific goals:
1. To establish an ongoing system to improve the quality of math and science teaching;
2. Increase the pool of science and math teachers and quality of teacher preparation; and
3. Improve the working environment and make the teaching profession more attractive.
