Boston University’s Science Education Program prepares students for professional responsibilities in
designing, teaching, and supervising science programs
at the elementary, secondary, and college levels. The
program connects emerging teachers to the foundations
of what makes a quality science educator today: up-to-date
science content with innovative, diverse pedagogy.
Students are challenged to develop and practice techniques
so that they will engage their students in the learning process,
allowing young learners to experience science actively rather
than being passive receptacles. The science education
experience is one of belonging to a responsible,
closely-knit learning community determined to make
a difference in the lives of children and teenagers.
Boston University’s Science Education undergraduate
program fosters the development of motivated and
versatile science educators while promoting strong roots
in fundamental science content. Special courses have been
developed in collaborative efforts between the School of
Education and the College of Arts and Sciences combining
pedagogy with in-depth exposure to contemporary science.
Qualified undergraduates in Science Education may seek
dual degrees with the College of Arts and Sciences through
the Boston University Collaborative Degree Program.
