Practicing teachers are invited to undertake an online M.S. degree in either Science Education or Mathematics Education with an emphasis on interdisciplinary science, mathematics and technology teaching and learning.

Graduates of the program will be able to use their M.S. degree in School-Based Science Education 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 Education or 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. The curriculum provides 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 online master’s 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 initiate, integrate, supplement and enhance a student's learning experience.

Participants

Ideal applicants are licensed teachers who have completed a teacher preparation program, at least one year of full-tine teaching, 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 who 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 beneficial for educators who are looking for focused instruction on integrating technology in their class curriculum and lesson plans.
