Science Education (Secondary Earth Science)

Western Governors University (WGU) Washington ETPL
Earth science (also called geoscience) explores society's use of resources, resiliency to natural hazards, and the health of the environment. Earth science education teachers need to have the up-to-date knowledge, skills, and credentials to help young minds develop a passion for understanding the physical aspects of the Earth, including its composition, structure, and processes. If you're ready to make a difference for students and inspire future earth scientists, earth science education could be the perfect fit for you. WGU's online earth science education degree program focuses on competencies including astronomy, geology, meteorology, and oceanography. Our curriculum is designed to prepare you for a meaningful career teaching geosciences in middle schools and high schools across America.
