The MST programs are the thesis track master’s programs offered by the Science Education Department. The aim of these programs is not only to enhance the student’s content and technical knowledge (in biology, chemistry, mathematics, or physics) but also improve his/her research skills as well. A graduate of any of these programs is able to apply the current accepted knowledge to particular education problems through research. The proficient roster of faculty members from the College of Education handles the pedagogical aspect of the program while the specialists from the College of Science teach the major courses.
