Bachelor of Arts - Earth Science - Teaching

A major in Earth Science Teaching from UNI prepares students with the skills, knowledge and expertise needed to teach Earth Science at the secondary level.

During their time at UNI, students will take classes in their content area – learning about meteorology, astrology, geology and more – along with classes in University of Northern Iowa's award-winning College of Education. In addition to high-quality courses, students will gain hundreds of hours of field experience working in a real classroom setting – all before they graduate.

Students are encouraged to add endorsements in other areas such as Chemistry, Physics, and Biology teaching with only a few additional courses.

As an Earth Science Teaching major, students will have multiple field experiences in which they will explore, define and sharpen their skills as a future classroom teacher. The teaching experience will be capped off with student teaching which can be done in Iowa, throughout the United States, or overseas.
