Science Education
There is a crucial need for science teachers in the 21st century. The College of Education offers you the unique opportunity to graduate in four years with
a Bachelor of Science in Science Education with a minor in Biblical Studies. This degree enables you to teach Biology, Chemistry, or Physics at the secondary education level. Aligned with national and state standards, successfully completed programs lead to North Carolina Teacher Certification and can be transferred to other states as well as
internationally.
Mid-Atlantic Christian University’s School of Education offers a learning environment that supports Christian values in the classroom. Teacher candidates will receive professional preparation to succeed as a teacher so that your future students will succeed in school. You will also benefit from spiritual support that prepares you for ethical leadership.
