Earth/Space Science Teaching

About the major

Science education is asking the questions, searching for answers, and inspiring students to learn about and prepare for stewardship of their world. The earth/space science teaching program provides a broad earth science core; a strong background in math, chemistry, and physics; and courses in education covering student development, integration of content and teaching methods, use of technology, fostering community, and assessing outcomes. All of which help prepare students to teach in junior high/middle/secondary schools (grades 5-12) and meet the requirements set by the University-wide Teacher Education Council.
