The Science Education Minor provides preparation for careers where teaching and conveying science are important components, including secondary, community college, and university teaching, or other science-related outreach
The curriculum of the Science Education minor provides:
- Two quarters of field experiences in middle and high school science classes,
- Two quarters of UCLA-based laboratory teaching practicums taught by experts in laboratory instruction in the disciplines,
- The science courses necessary for preparation for the state subject matter exams (if pursuing a teaching credential), and
- Flexibility in education courses to allow individualization of the minor to fit the graduate and/or credential program of your choice.
The minor is designed to provide both theory and hands-on experiences. Students interested in K-12 education, as well as graduate programs in their STEM disciplines, are the primary focus.
Note: Advising for the Science Education minor is provided by the Chemistry Department. Please contact the Chemistry department directly if you have any questions about this program or any of the Science Education courses.
