The Master of Education (M.Ed.) option in science education is appropriate for secondary and elementary science teachers seeking especially strong backgrounds in different science fields with a concentration in one field. Selecting this option is appropriate for community college science teaching. The program focuses on teaching methodology and cognition in teaching and learning. Research is conducted in conjunction with faculty interests.
In the last term of the program, it is required that all MEd candidates sign up to take a comprehensive exam. It is scheduled in October and March of each year. Other times can be arranged with the student's advisor.
