Degree Programs

The Project to Advance Science Education focuses on the "S" in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education. PASE is dedicated to enhancing science instruction through basic research, the preparation of science teachers for school service, and the development of science education leaders and professors who will positively impact science teaching in K-12 schools and higher education settings. The program is detailed in a PDF brochure.

Undergraduate Studies

Bachelor's degrees can gain an emphasis on science education with STEM Education for secondary grades, which is an undergraduate minor in teacher preparation that allows you to earn your teaching credential as you complete your science major. For more information write teach@uark.edu.
