Earth Science Teacher, Grades 7-12

This 51-58 credit undergraduate program in Science Learning and Pubic Engagement (SLPE) was designed in consultation with New York’s major science cultural institutions to prepare students for a wide array of science education careers. These include work in cultural institutions, botanical gardens, museums, zoos, environmental education centers, community-based organizations, educational, science, health, and environmental non-profits and foundations, government, universities and for-profit businesses. Program courses are designed to develop expertise in science engagement in non-formal environments, curricular and instructional design, communications media, and non-profit program management. 

Accelerated Master’s Degree Option: Through CUNY’s policy of double counting graduate credits, students within an Accelerated Master’s Option may complete both the bachelor’s and master’s degrees in fewer semesters. Interested undergraduates who have completed at least 60 credits with an overall GPA of at least 3.0 in the bachelor’s degree for Science Learning & Public Engagement should contact Prof. Richard Steinberg (rsteinberg@ccny.cuny.edu) or Prof. Yael Wyner (ywyner@ccny.cuny.edu) to discuss the possibility of completing graduate courses that satisfy requirements for both the bachelor’s in SLPE and the master’s degree in Middle School Science Education.
