In conjunction with the Teaching & Learning department, the Chemistry department contributes graduate courses that support the following degree programs:
-
Master's of Science in Education (MSEd) degree in Adolescence Education: Chemistry. This degree is designed for adolescence education teachers who need a Master's degree for permanent certification.
-
Master's of Arts in Teaching (MAT) degree in Adolescence Education: Chemistry. This degree is designed for those with a bachelor's degree in Chemistry who would like a rapid route to certification as secondary education teachers.
-
Bachelor's of Arts in Chemistry + Master's of Arts in Teaching in Adolescence Education: Chemistry. This program allows Chemistry majors to ability to earn two degrees and a NYS teaching credential within five years.
