Math/Science Education Major Programs
Three majors are available to students interested in how people learn science and mathematics—Mathematics Secondary Education Major, Chemical Education Major and General Physics/Secondary Education Major. Students in these majors are encouraged to take courses in the Math and Science Education Minors, but of course are not eligible for a minor in the same discipline.
