The Science and Mathematics Education department in the College of Science now offers an online M.S. degree in either Science Education or Mathematics Education for School-Based classroom instruction in cooperation with Ecampus.

Graduates of the program will be able to use their M.S. degree in School-Based Science or Mathematics Education for leadership in their schools or districts as well as providing professional development in teaching science or mathematics in K-12 programs.

Program overview

The online M.S. in School-Based Science and Mathematics Education aims to increase the educator's knowledge of teaching mathematics or science beyond their teacher preparation program in order to enhance the potential for increased student achievement in science and mathematics. As a College of Science master's degree, the Curriculum is able to  provide an integrated and  coherent development of knowledge and skills in mathematics and science along with K-12 teaching and learning of these areas.

Educators taking part in the School-Based program will benefit from the program's dedication to strong subject matter knowledge in mathematics or science, as well as the integration of current and emerging technologies to integrate, supplement and enhance a student's learning experience.

Participants

Ideal applicants are licensed teachers who have completed a teacher's preparation program and are looking for additional educational programs in subject-specific knowledge of mathematics or science and potential qualification for advanced positions. The program is also beneficial for practicing teachers that require master's degrees to meet continuing licensure requirements in their home state.

The master's program in science or mathematics education for classroom-based teachers is also beneficial for educators who are looking for focused instruction on integrating technology in their class curriculum and lesson plans.

Convenient online delivery

OSU Extended Campus and the experienced Faculty of the School-Based master's program understand today's educators must balance work, family and personal commitments. With this in mind, OSU developed the online M.S. Science and Mathematics Education School-Based option so licensed teachers can access courses on their own schedule from any location.
