Master of Arts [M.A] [Science Education] From San Jose State University

In cooperation with the College of Education and the Secondary Education Program, we oversee the single subject teacher credential program in science through advising, coursework offerings and student teacher supervision. In addition, we offer a master's degree in Science Education and oversee the Science Education Resource Center (SERC), a unique resource center that houses science education materials available for checkout by our local teachers.

The MA in Science Education is a flexible program designed for K-12 teachers involved or interested in science education, and for science educators and specialists working in informal or outdoor education. The curriculum is designed to augment and broaden the candidate's background in science content as well as increase academic proficiency and professional competence in science education pedagogy.

Beginning Fall 2011, qualified students who have earned a multiple- or single-subject credential at San Jose State University may apply up to 9 units of approved credential coursework from the College of Education and 3 units of approved credential coursework from the College of Science to the MA Science Education degree.
