Science education online is a collaboration between the UMass Amherst College of Education and the College of Natural Sciences. It is intended for elementary and middle school classroom teachers who wish to increase their science content knowledge and teaching skills. 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.
