STEM education is more important than ever before. Giving young students a better understanding (and appreciation) of science helps train their minds, suggests a wider variety of career goals, and helps them better comprehend the world in which they live. And there’s a reason WGU has processed more STEM teachers than any other U.S. college or university in recent years.
This online master's degree program in science education prepares current teachers like you to specialize in teaching general science courses at the junior high/middle school level.
The program helps ensure your proficiency in a wide range of natural science topics, including biology, chemistry, physics, and earth and space science. In addition to the subject matter, you will learn the classroom skills necessary to effectively teach this content to students in grades 5 through 9*.
*The specific grade levels you will be qualified or endorsed to teach will depend on your state.
