Science Education

Science Education

Children are naturally curious. They love to discover new things, explore the world around them, and work with their hands. If you love the thought of stimulating inquisitive minds to investigate the world through biology, chemistry, physics, and other fields of science—and to do so from a biblical frame of reference—the Science Education major may be for you. At Maranatha, you’ll gain a solid foundation in biological, physical, and earth sciences as well as preparation in the art of teaching and passing this knowledge on to others. You’ll also benefit from experienced professors who are not afraid to follow the scientific evidence when it points to a Creator or supports biblical creationism.

The major will lead to a Bachelor of Science degree and prepare you to teach early adolescence through adolescence. Students may take the standard program or meet license requirements of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, including a full semester of student teaching.
