M.S. in Integrated STEM Education

Program of Study
Degree Type
Master of Science

The Master of Science in Integrated STEM Education couples WPI's strengths in theory & practice with innovative models for teaching STEM through project-based learning (PBL). The program provides candidates with the knowledge and skills for the myriad applications of transdisciplinary STEM Education in different educational contexts.

This program is designed for practicing PK-12 educators who are looking to advance their knowledge while having practical components to immediately use in their classroom or educational setting. Individuals enrolled in this program could pursue this degree synchronously online. All STEM education courses can be completed online synchronously, and a subset of elective courses can be taken either in person or online. The program director will provide guidance to determine which courses are offered fully online.

Graduates of the program will gain tools for conducting high-quality STEM education teaching and research in PreK-12 settings, supporting learners (young and adults alike) in developing problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills that benefit their lives and communities.
