Science and Mathematics Teaching Center Graduate Programs

The SMTC offers three graduate degree programs with multiple degree concentrations, certification options, and endorsement options. These programs are truly interdisciplinary. Because we are deeply committed to both the art and the science of teaching, we draw faculty from across the university in various disciplines. Each graduate cohort is taught by a balanced team of education and content experts to help you deepen your understanding of educational theory, teaching practices and subject matter.
 
Thanks to our generous donor Gene Strid, the SMTC offers four awards to graduate students who have shown excellence in their courses and are committed to advancing STEM education. Awards are to assist with expenses associated with participation in the SMTC summer session. Apply.

Masters of Science in Teaching  (MST)

This is a self-directed Master's degree program working with the SMTC. The program is developed individually based on STEM content (natural science, mathematics & statistics, physics & astronomy, chemistry, and/or biology) and pedagogy interests of the graduate student and may emphasize formal or informal learning settings. Interdisciplinary study is encouraged. This concentration is intended for individuals pursuing careers as environmental and natural science educators in non-formal and independent school settings.
