Science Education Master's Program (M.S.)

The Master of Science in Science Education is designed to enhance the content knowledge and teaching skills of Maryland state high school science teachers. The program will prepare them for national board certification through the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS).

Educational objectives of this program are to: enhance the depth of content knowledge of students within the scientific discipline; train students in the practice of science, including the design and execution of controlled experiments, data analysis, knowledge application and reporting; provide the students with the most recent knowledge on best practices in teaching science, including recent advances in pedagogy, authentic assessment, the use of state and national standards, and the application of instructional technology.

A diverse course offering of primarily 600-and 700-level courses is available in the evening to accommodate working teachers.

Teachers may choose a Biology or a Chemistry track under the Master of Science in Science Education program.
