Additional Information From NC State University:

The goals and objectives of the BS degree in Science Education are:

To enable and ensure that each prospective teacher enriches his/her life through a comprehensive university education
To develop the professional qualities and academic background needed to teach science to all student levels in the grade for which the teacher is certified
To develop a general knowledge foundation upon which specialized professional knowledge is built, and upon which a well-rounded university education is the base
Coursework for the degree is divided into four types of knowledge:
General pedagogical knowledge — the nature of learners and general principles of instruction
Content-area knowledge — knowledge of the natural sciences
Pedagogical content knowledge — principles of curriculum, instruction and assessment directly related to the natural sciences
Context knowledge — understanding the culture of the school, community and society in which educational institutions exist and function

Please see the program website for additional information.

Remaining Courses to be Taken at NC State are based on CAA eligibility and completion of all required and suggested courses in this transfer guide. Remaining courses, hours and time to degree may vary for each student.
