If you enjoy chemistry and science, and have a passion for teaching and working with youth, the chemistry education major is a great fit for you.
As a chemistry education student at SBU, you will learn everything you need to know about how to become a chemistry teacher at the secondary education level.
Today's schools need teachers who are highly qualified in their academic disciplines and also care deeply about their students. At SBU you will receive a combination of training in both chemistry, education, and the integration of faith and discipline, making you the type of teacher school districts are seeking.
The SBU Advantage
