These are non-thesis track master’s programs that aim to update and enrich the student’s content knowledge in a chosen discipline. The graduate of any of these programs will be able to improve his/her teaching effectiveness through the use of research-based, innovative and creative instructional instruments and programs. The proficient roster of faculty members from the Br. Andrew Gonzalez FSC College of Education handles the pedagogical aspect of the program while the specialists from the College of Science teach the major (biology, chemistry, mathematics, or physics) courses.
