The Master of Arts in Science Education program at Aurora University is offered online or in a hybrid format allowing students to choose the modality that best suits their disctrict’s needs. The hybrid format offers nine courses fully online and four (those indicated with an asterisk) on-ground at our Aurora campus.

This program equips secondary-level science teachers with the science content and pedagogy needed to instill a passion for science in young learners. Participants will increase their general knowledge of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) content, as well as biology, chemistry, physical science, and earth and space science. The program will explore teaching methods alongside content knowledge, with coursework demonstrating the interconnected nature of STEM fields. Participants will learn new strategies to work with students in the classroom to meet the Next Generation Science Standards. Courses are designed so that teachers can experiment at home and take these ideas directly to the classroom. The program helps teachers grow to become leaders and advocates for science education in their own schools and districts.

Entry Requirements

Current teaching certificate/license

Bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college and/or university (minimum 2.75 GPA on a 4.0 scale)

Prior undergraduate coursework should include one year of biology or a combination of biology and chemistry
