Overview

The Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T) Middle School 6-8 Science Licensure degree is well-suited for those who have an undergraduate degree in one of the science disciplines or an adequate, broad range of suitable science coursework. Applicants should be highly-motivated for a rewarding career in education, and open to implementing novel instructional strategies in classroom and/or non-formal educational settings. A career in teaching science for full student engagement can be demanding, but it also affords a sense of purpose that may be rarely experienced in other professions. This Concentration in Middle School 6-8 Science Licensure is an advanced degree appropriate for those seeking teaching licensure who have completed the prerequisite science courses in their undergraduate degree program. This program will equip teachers to become proficient leaders in science education and is aligned with state standards for science and the national frameworks for science education. Shortages of qualified science teachers in Tennessee and across the nation have been recognized for decades. The demand for effective teachers of science across all grade levels is expected to increase in the future. Becoming a leader in science education research and practice will position graduates for important roles in cultivating proper skills and scientific mindsets. Outside of the traditional, educational setting, graduates may find meaningful, professional education opportunities in non-formal institutions.
