• Excellent major for secondary education students planning to teach science.
• The major enables students to individualize their program by choosing two of four areas in which to specialize: biology, chemistry, earth science or physics. Students must complete the equivalent of a minor in at least one area in order to be certified to teach in Wisconsin.
• Small classes allow personal attention from professors.
• Majors in this field benefit from UW-Superior's excellent programs in teacher education and science.
