DEGREE
Program Description
This program differs from other science programs in that it has been designed specifically for middle and secondary education teachers. It is a summer program at the university so that individuals who are currently engaged in teaching during the school year can complete the program. Its purpose is to better equip science/math teachers whose teaching assignments differ from their primary area of expertise. This degree is offered in cooperation with South Dakota State University.
