The emphasis of the courses is on content, rather than pedagogy. MST students are encouraged to develop laboratory exercises, demonstrations, and teaching methods from the course content and effectuate these as directed study or independent study projects in their own classrooms during the academic year. Courses for the participants are offered by a variety of departments on campus and are taught by New Mexico Tech faculty.
Classes build on fundamental principles and offer new concepts and novel teaching methods.
Courses are offered primarily during the summer on an alternating or demand basis. Where demand and resources warrant, off-campus courses are offered during the fall and spring semesters.
