Master of Science in Teaching with an emphasis on
Secondary Physics
This program is most, but not exclusively, suited for people seeking a career change to Secondary Physics or Astronomy Education from a related Math or Science field, or for established teachers to further their education and earn a Master’s degree. Joining this amazing program can offer those without previous teaching experience the opportunity to possibly teach, or assist in teaching, lower-level Physics and Astronomy courses at the University and work closely with numerous Physics and Astronomy faculty. During your time spent in the program you will complete various research projects, including a thesis, and engage in stimulating course work that will teach you to become a more progressive and knowledgeable mathematics instructor.
Physics and Astronomy Prerequisites:
- Bachelor’s degree from an accredited University
- Two semesters physics (PHY111/112 or PHY121/122 or equivalent),
- One semester chemistry (CHY121/123 or equivalent), and
- Two semesters of college-level calculus (Calc I & II, MAT 126/127) or equivalent, all with a grade B or better.
