It's always been a competitive environment out there for teachers. The recent economic and political climate hasn't made it any less so. Now, more than ever, teachers need advanced degrees to be successful educators.
Western Michigan University's College of Arts and Sciences is pleased to offer a different kind of advanced degree for science teachers. First, it's focused on science content, allowing you to design a program that interests you from beginning to end. And incidentally, when you finish with your master's degree, you're going to be a better teacher.
Professors can make or break an online class and we've got some great ones. The Mallinson Institute for Science Education at WMU is one of the most respected science education institutes in the country. They were recently ranked third in faculty productivity by the Chronicle of Higher Education.
M.A. programs at other institutions have capstone projects or require you to take a class or two at their main campus, far away from your home. WMU's program is 100% online and requires no visits to Kalamazoo.
This program was designed with high school science teachers and elementary teachers with strong science backgrounds in mind. If you want to expand your science knowledge and enhance your teaching skills, this is the master's degree for you.
