BS and MST in Science Teaching

The program of studies for the Master of Science Teaching Secondary School (grades 6-12) degree program builds upon a bachelor's degree in one of the science areas (Biology, Chemistry, Geoscience, or Physics). It can also be structured as a combined BS/MS degree program for FSU students currently completing undergraduate science degrees. The program of studies for this degree program is designed to extend and deepen the science background of its students through the required graduate-level content courses and prepare them with knowledge of how students learn science best and what that means for teaching. This MST program offers an option to science undergraduates that will produce exceptionally qualified teachers for the middle- and high-school settings.
