M.S.Ed. in Secondary Education-Science Education Track
The Science Education Track of the M.S.Ed. in Secondary Education is designed to provide students a path to increase both their knowledge in science content and advanced pedagogies for teaching science. Students who do not have licensure in a science area can earn this degree as part of their licensure program but the General Track Sub-Plan is recommended for that purpose due to the difficulty in scheduling science content courses.
