Master of Arts in Teaching - Biology 7-12

As a student in the Biology Master of Arts in Teaching Program at Southern Connecticut State University, students will work with professors and scholars who are experts in their fields to develop a strong theoretical and practical foundation for what constitutes effective science teaching.

Extensive and embedded clinical experiences in a variety of middle and/or high school Biology classrooms will support students growth as an educator by helping them bridge knowledge from their coursework with the realities of classroom practice. Further, they will have the opportunity to dig deeper into an area of their interest related to Biology education by conducting research that explores answers to the pressing questions and challenges of science teaching and learning today.
