Master of Education [M.Ed] [Science Education] From Rutgers University - New Jersey

• The Ed.M in Science Education offers tracks in physical science, biological science, and general science.
• The program is designed for individuals who possess a bachelor’s degree and have a background in teaching and/or in physical science, biological science, or general science. 
• Middle school teachers with a sufficient science background can apply to the program, too.

This program has three major goals:

• to help students learn pedagogical content knowledge of physical science or biological science, i.e., content-specific teaching methods in these disciplines;
• to provide students with a grounding in the historical and philosophical contexts of the discipline that they are teaching, i.e., history and philosophy of physical science or life science; and
• to provide students with research experiences in physical science or life science. This will help them better understand how scientists work and how discipline-specific knowledge develops.
