M.S. STEM Education (Online Degree)
- The Teaching and Learning Department of the College of Education offers a completely online STEM Education Masters degree. All courses in the program are 8 week, asynchronous online courses. The program has been built to be a flexible option for working professionals. While the primary audience is in-service K-12 teachers, being a licensed teacher is not a requirement for admission. Several current students are working in informal STEM education positions. Some of the coursework for the program involves students learning about and participating in STEM education and STEM outreach programs.
Master of Arts in Teaching Physics at Stony Brook
The Stony Brook MAT Program in Physics has been named by the Physics Teacher Education Coalition (PhysTEC) as one of the most outstanding physics teacher preparation programs in the United States. Requiring a BS in Physics or equivalent ensures that our students are well equipped to teach physics. We are one of the top producers of physics teacher graduates in the United States. In six of the past seven years, we have graduated five or more physics teachers which has been recognized by the American Physical Society and the American Association of Physics Teachers. This positions Stony Brook in approximately the top five universities in the country in the training and production of physics teachers. Physics teachers on Long Island and the surrounding region generally have highly favorable working conditions and competitive salaries. To apply please use the link above.
