The Master of Arts in Science Teaching Degree (MAST) is a rigorous program designed for practicing teachers to deepen their knowledge of the content and to enhance their classroom practice through a focus on research-based teaching strategies that make science accessible to learners. The program is unique in that it focuses solely on science education allowing students to be part of a supportive cohort of high-achieving science teachers taught by faculty who specialize and conduct research in science education. We strive to provide a cutting-edge, high-quality program that will utilize your professional experiences and build upon your content knowledge to become a highly effective secondary teacher and leader. The program is fully online and is designed to be completed in two years on a part-time basis.

Please note: This academic plan does not result in K-12 public-school teacher certification. Please see the ‘Teaching Science with Certification (MAT-S)' program for professional certification. In addition, the program is not designed to provide the appropriate graduate science coursework for teaching dual enrollment courses at the high school level.
