Course Overview

All of the courses provide students with the opportunity to think about how the math and science content they are studying could be used to make the teaching and learning of math and science as future educators both engaging and effective.

Program Benefits

In the Math and Science Concepts minor, you can:

  • be part of a small cohort of students,
  • participate in meaningful service-learning and civic engagement opportunities as a way to integrate teaching of the content,
  • work directly with middle-level teachers and students through Master Teacher partnerships,
  • be part of a team with supportive faculty, tutors, and advisors,
  • receive early field experience and opportunities to connect content with actual classroom practices and instruction,
  • be involved in opportunities to support and mentor, problem solve and discuss topics related to future careers as classroom teachers through advisory seminars and guided inquiry learning.

Career Options

The Math and Science Concepts minor is designed for undergraduate students interested in developing deep and broad-based literacy in math, physical and life sciences, and technology.  

Students majoring in Elementary Education or Middle-Level Education will earn a content minor in Math and Science Concepts (MSTQE). Middle-Level Education students will also receive an endorsement from the State of Illinois in Mathematics and Science (with the option of adding Social Studies and Language Arts).

Most students in the program go on to major in education and many elect to become teachers of math and general science. Others go on to teach in informal education, in museums, libraries, environmental education, and other venues.
