Integrated Science for Middle School
The Master of Arts in Integrated Science program is designed for those teachers who seek to deepen their content understanding in the natural sciences in order to confidently address the Ohio Science Contend Standards.  Current state requirements and the implementation of federal No Child Left Behind legislation make it imperative that teachers of science in the middle grades be adequately trained in a broad range of the natural sciences.  This cooperative effort of the departments of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics along with the assistance of the Department of Education and Allied Studies, will provide the student with a depth of content knowledge and the pedagogical skills necessary to met the educational needs of the middle-grade student.

This program is open to all certificated/licensed teachers who currently teach in the middle grades or are interested in teaching science at the middle grade level.  New cohorts will begin each fall.  The program consists of ten courses offered in a two-year cycle.
