The UIU Advantage
As a science teacher, you don’t just answer questions–you inspire students to seek out answers for themselves. The All Science major gives you a deeper understanding of a range of disciplines in science, as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) educators may teach a diversity of subjects, including earth science, chemistry, physics, biology, astronomy and mathematics.
Why All Science at UIU?
- Students who satisfactorily complete this major and all required teacher education coursework are prepared for licensure in Iowa and qualified to teach All Science in grades 5-12 at any private or parochial school.
- As a teacher in the STEM fields, you’ll have the opportunity to encourage students to explore the natural world around them and learn how mathematics and science can be used to understand and explain what we observe around us.
- Increased emphasis has been placed on teaching in these subjects, because STEM fluency is important to developing the future leaders that will succeed in a complex world.
- Job growth for teachers in the STEM fields is higher than average for the teaching profession, and there are many openings for teachers who specialize in this area.
