Science Secondary Education Program
The Secondary Science Education major at the University of Delaware offers students interested in teaching middle or high school science the opportunity to study their scientific area of interest while also learning about and practicing the best teaching methods.
Bachelors degrees are offered in Biology Education, Chemistry Education, Earth Science Education, and Physics Education. All programs are accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).
Students complete the requirements for a Liberal Arts degree by majoring in their content area and taking professional education courses as well. Qualified students can enroll in Honors sections of several laboratory and lecture sections each semester. On completing the state-approved program’s requirements students will receive the university’s endorsement for teaching certification.
