Graduate Programs

Our graduate programs are designed for both in-service (already practicing) teachers and people seeking teacher certification. Our programs can help you:

  • enhance your science content and pedagogical knowledge
  • obtain your teacher certification
  • prepare to teach at the community college level

For in-service teachers

Our Master of Arts in Science Teaching Degree (MAST) gives you the opportunity to refresh your scientific knowledge and to learn pedagogical methods for communicating that knowledge to your students. This degree will also prepare you to teach at the community college level.

For certification seekers

If you hold a degree in science, mathematics, or a related field, but would like to change careers and become a teacher, we have two certification options:

  • Master of Arts Teaching Science with Certification (MAT-S)
  • Graduate Certificate—Mathematics or Science Teaching (C-MOST)
