| Rationale: |
| This single-major degree offers candidates a choice to major in only one science teaching area of interest at 7 through 12 grades. It strengthens candidates' content knowledge and skills to become effective science teachers at the secondary levels. It also improves the College of Education offerings in the AYA science areas. |
| Bulletin description: |
| This program leads to a Master's in Secondary Science Education with licensure in one subject area to teach 7-12 grades. Candidates apply theory to practice in their area of concentration through inquiry approach and critical thinking. |
