This MS for Teachers of Mathematics and Science Project is normally completed during the winter term with a School of Education faculty member. Electing to complete a project usually means completing one additional required elective in the discipline than those who complete an MS for Teachers thesis.
Teaching students are required to take five elective courses beyond the six courses required in your academic discipline area. Students advisors must approve teaching course selections.

If a student has a greater degree of computer literacy, the student must include a computer elective or demonstrate competence in one of the computer course areas.
