Science Education BSEd/Science Education MEd

Graduates of the B.S.Ed. program in Science Education are in high demand for positions in schools both in Georgia and across the United States. Upon completion of the M.Ed., students will be eligible for a stepped pay increase within most Georgia school systems and will be able to use graduate credits toward recertification. Further, endorsement credits allow for expanded teaching opportunities and responsibilities within public secondary school faculties. Because the M.Ed. coursework is online, this program will support students' ongoing learning no matter where their first year of teaching takes them (geographically).
