The Center for Science and Mathematics Education offers a masters degree program tailored specifically for certified secondary school education teachers in mathematics and science.

The MSSST program aims to provide practicing teachers with a deeper and broader science background and to improve the quality of science and mathematics teaching in Utah. The major areas of emphasis are Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and Earth Science. The desired applicant for the MSSST program is a professional science or mathematics teacher who intends to continue teaching and become a leader in their field. Applicants can apply to any area of emphasis they chose but need to have a BS degree in a science or math field. Many teachers chose to pursue a MSSST degree in a field that is not their specialty in order to obtain endorsements or broaden their understanding of science. Once accepted into the program, you will select a graduate committee to help you design your program of study, guide your master's project, and monitor your performance and progress.
