Program Objectives
The graduate program in science education offers two tracks for students who want to expand their study of biology, chemistry, earth science and environmental science. Track A enhances teaching methods, curricula, research and content in science education. Within this track students can pursue professional licensure in general science. Track B prepares students with ethical perspectives, experimental methods, research experience and science content necessary for careers educating the public about scientific issues.

Program Description
The science teaching track (Track A) is flexible enough to accommodate students interested in elementary, middle school, secondary or non-traditional science education. Students work closely with an advisor to select the appropriate balance of content and teaching courses to meet their objectives. Students pursuing professional licensure in general science must complete a science teaching internship and 18 credits of coursework in science content chosen from at least two of the sciences including biology, earth science and appropriate courses in physics and chemistry offered through the science education program.

The non-teaching track prepares students for careers ranging from integrated scientific research to environmental advocacy, by providing a flexible curriculum of content courses while emphasizing how research is conducted and disseminated and the impact of contemporary issues in science.
