Graduate study in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education is offered through an interdisciplinary program that combines content preparation with educational research and scholarship, in a setting that fosters and supports tight links to educational practice. The program is anchored by a set of core courses addressing learning, instruction, curriculum, technology, equity, policy, and systemic reform in STEM education, at the elementary, secondary, and postsecondary levels. Coursework is chosen from departments in the College of Education, Cockrell School of Engineering, and College of Natural Sciences, as well as other appropriate University colleges.
