- 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.
