The Master of Science in Teaching program is designed for those who do not hold a teaching certificate in health. The three tracks within the degree are designed to allow those with and without teacher certification to pursue health certification.
Depending on the academic background of the applicants, there may be additional requirements for the award of the degree, such as anatomy and physiology, and other health content background course work. Any additional requirements are determined on an individual basis after a review of previous course work. This information must be ascertained by the students in consultation with the Health Department’s coordinator of graduate studies. It is expected that students will initiate this consultation early in the program, before the completion of 15 credit hours.
