Admission to Program
Students will apply to dual degree pathway no later than February 15 of year three. Students must apply to the Graduate School during the final semester of their senior year (Feb 15) to be able to begin their remaining Graduate Courses in the summer immediately following completion of the undergraduate degree.
Students in the M.A.T. in Science Education are in the process of earning a bachelor's degree in a typical core science field (e.g., biology, chemistry, earth/space science, or physics). Applicants with a science-related major or with a more limited coursework background in one of the core science areas will have their transcripts evaluated by our faculty to determine if further undergraduate-level science content coursework must be completed before admission to the program.
