(56-64 semester hours minimum)
The science education major is an interdisciplinary program that combines content area course work in two science and/or mathematics areas (biology, chemistry, earth/space science, mathematics, physical science, and physics). Because the physical science major requires physics, chemistry, and earth science, a minor area is not required. The program contains four components: general science requirements, one principal content area (major), one supporting content area (minor) (excluding physical science), and content area teaching methodology courses. Students who complete a major or minor area in science teaching will have satisfied the Liberal Studies requirement in Scientific and Mathematical Studies.
