Science Education (Secondary Earth Science)
Earth science is one of the fundamental sciences all American high school students are expected to learn before graduation. By making geology, meteorology, oceanography, and astronomy interesting and challenging, you can help engage your students' minds, strengthen their confidence, and lead them to a better appreciation of the world in which they live.The two online masters degree programs at WGU can prepare you to teach science courses at the junior high and high school levels. The programs help ensure your proficiency in geosciences, astronomy, and more. You learn critical skills necessary to teach this content to students in junior high, middle school, or high school*. If you have a bachelor's degree but do NOT have a teaching license, you'll choose the Master of Arts in Teaching, Secondary Earth Science program. If you are currently a licensed teacher looking to add to your license, you'll choose the Master of Arts, Secondary Earth Science program. Both of these programs will help you progress toward your goal of becoming an earth science teacher!
