The Bachelor of Science in Education with a Physical Science focus equips students for teaching certification in physics and chemistry for grades 7 through 12. The program offers extensive science coursework spanning biology and geology, with concentrated studies in physics and chemistry. Physical Science majors typically finish their core subject classes within the first three years before starting teaching methodology courses in their third-year spring semester. The program's final year involves completing remaining subject classes, science education methods courses, and a full-year placement at a nearby school, culminating in a 13-week student teaching experience during spring. Early consultation with faculty advisors is strongly recommended for Physical Science students, as proper course sequencing is essential.
