The Science Education (K-8) program at Montana State University prepares future educators to teach science to elementary and middle school students from kindergarten through eighth grade. This program blends comprehensive STEM education with interdisciplinary studies in language arts, social studies, arts, and health enhancement, while offering specialized science courses to deepen students' academic focus. Remarkably, over 96% of Montana State graduates secure employment, pursue further education, or choose not to work within their first year after graduation. Career platform Zippia consistently recognizes MSU as Montana's top institution for graduate employability.
Many Education students at Montana State complement their Science Education major with teaching minors in Biology (5-12), Chemistry (5-12), Earth Science (5-12), or Physics (5-12) to expand their teaching qualifications.
