STEM Education - Master's and Doctorate
Why choose a graduate degree in STEM Education?
的 Center for STEM Education provides masters and doctoral level programs in STEM Education, as well as a new graduate 证书 option. Our students learn to conduct empirical research studies examining a variety of areas including but not limited to K12 STEM classroom practices, teacher development, STEM learning and student success, curriculum design, technology integration, and informal science learning outside the traditional classroom.
We provide research assistantships for five graduate students annually to work alongside and support our professors in their research programs. Funding supports full tuition and provides a stipend. We believe geography or other personal conditions should not limit learning, and therefore always offer a virtual option for all classes.
Learning Opportunities
的 STEM graduate 证书 is available for anyone involved in education at the K12, college, or informal/outreach level who wants to join our community of practice to enhance their reach and effectiveness. Students earn the 证书 after taking five Center for STEM Education courses, with tracks offered for those focusing on academia, K12, or community-level educational paths.
M.S. program provides the STEM content and pedagogical course work necessary to meet standards for advanced secondary teaching certification, to teach at the postsecondary 级别(e.g. community or junior college, college, or university), or to work as an informal educator. M.S. graduate students will develop both broad and deep content knowledge by taking courses from STEM professors across the university and will develop and practice basic educational research, statistics, and STEM education knowledge.
Ph值.D. program provides the STEM content, pedagogical course work, STEM education research courses, research opportunities, and outreach experiences to make career advancements, become university professors, and conduct original research in formal and/or informal STEM education. Ph.D. graduate students will develop both broad and deep content by taking courses from STEM professors across the university, and develop and practice advanced educational research methods, statistics, and STEM education knowledge by taking courses from STEM education professors and social scientists across 该机构. Doctoral candidates will work with their committee members to design and conduct original and publishable research in STEM education.
