Master of Education in Science Education Online

Interdisciplinary, hands-on program in science education online.

Apply

In the science education online (SEO) program, you’ll solidify your knowledge and build effective teaching strategies you can immediately apply in the science classroom. The program is approved for both elementary education grades 1–6 and general science grades 5–8. 

The SEO program integrates innovative educational methodologies with science content in subject areas ranging from biology and earth science to physical sciences. The program is fully online, but still follows an interdisciplinary, hands-on approach.

When you complete the program, you’ll have a much better set of tools for success in the science classroom. Great science teachers are in high demand, and you’ll be prepared to give your students the understanding of science they’ll need for the rest of their lives.
