Overview
36 Semester Hours
BW’s full-time MAEd in Science Teaching is designed to meet the need for passionate, skilled science teachers in northeast Ohio, statewide and nationally. In just 12 months, students who have a bachelor’s degree in biology, chemistry, or related scientific discipline can gain the preparation needed to become highly-effective science teachers for grades 7-12.
This intensive, one-year program begins in May and prepares students to teach by the following summer.

Graduates of the program are guaranteed job interviews for any open position in the students’ teaching field within the placement school district.

A Tuition-Free Master’s Degree Program That Takes Aim at the Teacher Shortage
Building on recent funding from the Ohio Department of Higher Education under the Choose Ohio First STEM and Addressing the Educator Shortages grant programs, BW and Meteor Learning are adding additional scholarships that lower tuition to zero for a limited number of students who enroll in BW’s graduate degree programs in math or science teaching.
The accelerated program for existing bachelor’s degree holders is among the state’s only yearlong intensive graduate teaching programs and targets two disciplines–math and science–where the teacher shortage is most acute.
Under the innovative funding model, State grants bring the tuition for these programs down from $19,980 to just over $7,500, with scholarships covering the remaining out-of-pocket tuition cost of $7,500 for a limited number of students. The scholarship package is available to aspiring teachers enrolling in the program that starts in the summer of 2023.
