Science
education
The field of science education is a diverse area of study that can lead to
many different professional opportunities. The demand for science teachers at the
elementary, middle school, and high school level, especially in subject areas such as
chemistry and physics, is high and likely to remain so in the foreseeable future.
This also is an excellent field of study to consider if you are
interested in an educational role in a museum, as a park naturalist,
in a recreational setting, or in a leadership role as a curriculum
specialist for a school district.
