Overview

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are involved in nearly every aspect of people lives. Basic math and science knowledge provide individuals with the skills to make important, informed life decisions. Science teachers play a pivotal role in developing critical thinkers and scientifically literate citizens. Nearly two million new teachers will be needed in the next decade. In particular, science is considered a “shortage” area, and science teachers are in high demand. Southern Connecticut State University prepares Earth Science Master of Arts in Teaching, students to be ambitious science teachers, who deliberately aim to support students of all backgrounds to deeply understand science ideas, participate in the activities of the discipline, and solve real-world problems. As a student in the Earth Science MAT Program at Southern, they will work with professors and scholars who are experts in their fields to develop a strong theoretical and practical foundation for what constitutes effective science teaching. Extensive and embedded clinical experiences in a variety of middle and/or high school Earth Science classrooms will support their growth as an educator by helping them bridge knowledge from their coursework with the realities of classroom practice. Further, students will have the opportunity to dig deeper into an area of their interest related to Earth Science education by conducting research that explores answers to the pressing questions and challenges of science teaching and learning today. Upon completion of the 45.5. credit Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) in Earth Science program, qualified candidates are recommended to the Connecticut Department of Education for their initial Earth Science 7-12 certification, and will receive a Master's degree. Applicants interested in this program should already have a Bachelor's degree in Earth Science, or a closely related field. This program is not for teachers who already hold a science teaching certification.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
