MS in Applied Science Education (MSASE)
Applied Science and Mathematics
Introduction
Established
teachers can move from provisional to professional certification
by meeting state requirements through work toward a master’s
degree.
The
Department of Education works closely with major departments in
awarding secondary certification in the areas of biology, business
and economics, chemistry, computer science, earth science, English,
science, mathematics, physics, social studies, and technology and
design.
Degree
MS
in Applied Science Education
The
Master of Science in Applied Science Education (MS-ASE) degree
is designed to meet the needs of teachers who
- want
to improve their knowledge and application of science and math
in the classroom;
- desire
to continue their professional development;
- wish
to seek an advanced degree in an application-based master’s
program;
- strive
to accomplish the goals of the Michigan Curriculum Frameworks
and Benchmarks and National Standards.
Stature
MTU’s
master’s program was designed using the Michigan Curriculum
Frameworks and Benchmarks and National Standards as guides. By
enrolling in this graduate program, teachers can move from provisional
to professional certification by meeting state requirements through
work toward a master’s degree—there are both financial
and career benefits of the master’s degree that surpass those
of just professional certification. The program combines courses
taught by engineering and science faculty with internet-based courses
in science education. The MS-ASE was initiated with financial support
from the National Science Foundation.
