Master of Science in Natural Sciences Program

Welcome to the Master of Science in Natural Sciences Program web site. The MSNS program is designed for elementary, middle and high school science teachers, stressing content and the processes of natural sciences as well as the integration of computers and other technologies into classroom curriculum.  The program is a cooperative effort between the Biology, Chemistry, Geology/Geography and Physics Departments.  Teachers in all concentrations take a number of core courses together, providing an opportunity for interaction between disciplines, then complete course work in their selected concentration.

The program includes courses that will refresh and expand the teacher's useful knowledge of the content and process of science as well as practical applications to science education.  Students in consultation with their advisor select a combination of courses to fulfill degree requirements and to match their own professional goals.

All courses specific to the program offered by the College and participating departments are available only during the summer term.
