Bachelor of Science - Middle School Education: Math/Science

Stevenson University offers a bachelor’s degree program in Middle School Education: Liberal Arts and Technology (Grades 4-9). Candidates complete an area of concentration in either mathematics and science or English language arts and social studies. Courses in both areas of concentration provide candidates with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to be successful teachers. The curriculum is designed to provide a strong foundation in liberal arts, math and science, technological competency, and a thorough understanding of child and young adolescent development and its impact on educational practices. The sequence of courses is based on an integration of theory and practice, and includes field experiences from the first year in the program.

Candidates complete an internship in a Professional Development School that extends for two consecutive semesters. Candidates who successfully complete either area of concentration, including achieving passing scores on Core Academic Skills for Educators (or meeting the requirements for the SAT/ACT/GPA options), Praxis II, and the Praxis Performance Assessment are eligible for teacher certification in Maryland and in states with reciprocal agreements with the Maryland State Department of Education. The middle school education program is approved by the Maryland State Department of Education.
