SCIENCE TEACHING CENTER

Model Teacher Education Program

   
Undergraduate 4; 4+ years Program

Are you thinking about becoming a teacher of science. Remember this is a model; your actual plan will probably look different. There are many pathways to accomplishing this goal. It is strongly recommended that you work toward two science certifications, the first in your major, and a second in which you complete 24 credit hours.
