Science education courses frequently incorporate cutting-edge technologies like web-based community platforms, remote learning tools, and portable data-gathering equipment. The program provides Master of Science (M.S.) degrees with thesis options and Master of Education (M.Ed.) degrees without thesis requirements. Doctoral (Ph.D.) programs cater to those pursuing academic research careers or faculty positions in higher education. The TLAC department typically provides financial assistance for full-time Ph.D. candidates. Working alongside faculty advisors, students create customized study plans that align with their professional aspirations while meeting departmental core requirements. Full-time Ph.D. students may secure funding through teaching undergraduate teacher education courses, collaborating with professors on mutual research interests, or participating in sponsored initiatives that offer professional development for science educators and innovative instructional approaches for K-16 learners.
