Other Programs:
The Department of Chemistry also cooperates with the other natural science departments and the College of Education in offering the degree of Master of Arts in Education with an option in Physical Science. The program is primarily for non-specialized science teachers and is described more thoroughly in the College of Education section of the graduate catalog. If you already have a chemistry bachelors and would like to teach at the high school level you should consider a Master of Arts in Teaching.
If you are considering teaching there is an innovative new program which pays you to try it out for two weeks. See EKU's Try Teaching Program for more information.
