以物理为重点的中学教育科学学士学位

BS Ed。是为希望在中学从事教学职业的学生设计的专业教育学位。大部分特定学科的课程工作与该学科的学士或学士学位平行，但是，密苏里州基础和中等教育系（DESE）需要特定的课程工作才能获得教师资格证书。该系的教职员工兴趣广泛，活跃于各种实验和理论研究领域。成功完成此课程的学生将了解基本物理概念，解决基本物理问题所需的数学和解决问题的技能，物理学，天体物理学或生物物理学的实验技能以及分析和解释科学数据以及撰写科学论文的能力或报告。
Teach students to understand the nature of the universe.<br>High school physics teachers help students learn how to solve problems and think critically using calculus and other forms of higher math that are integral to understanding the principles of physics. They help their students explore the complex interplay of mass, energy and gravity. Physics teachers must have a high level mastery of math and a deep understanding of scientific principles to communicate both to their students.<br>The BS in Secondary Education, with an emphasis in Physics, prepares students to teach in secondary school settings, grades 9-12. This program requires the selection and completion of required coursework in physics and includes field and practicum experiences in high school settings, culminating in Missouri teacher certification.<br>This program coordinates with the Department of Physics where youll be exposed to research and teaching laboratories and a wide variety of modern research instrumentation. Much of the discipline-specific coursework parallels the BA or BS degree in Physics, however, the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) requires specific coursework for teacher certification.
