You love science and want the option to share it with kids. Today in Massachusetts and beyond, the demand for science teachers is higher than ever. Teaching science to middle school students is a rewarding career that positively shapes students’ sense of self and their understanding of the world.
A degree in Earth System Science with General Science Licensure allows you to pursue teaching, along with other science-related careers, after graduation. While gaining a comprehensive understanding of the Earth as a dynamic system investigable through its many spheres (geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere), adding licensure to your degree will also prepare you to become an effective middle school science teacher.
