About Science Education Online
We are not currently accepting applications to this program.
The program prepares Massachusetts teachers for professional licensure in elementary education or middle school general science. This program is not a teacher preparation program and is not appropriate for those seeking initial teacher licensure in their state. Teachers from other states must consult their own state licensing regulations.
Science Education Online offers rolling admission, admitting students year round. Our students generally take a maximum of two online courses per semester; courses are offered in fall, spring, and summer semesters. Depending upon scheduling and class choices, it is possible to finish the program in less than two years.
Degrees
Students in Science Education Online either earn a Master of Education (MEd) degree or an Education Specialist degree (EdS). The EdS option provides cohesive, specialized training for teachers who already hold a master’s, without the commitment and formal examination of a doctoral program.
