During 1995 and 1996, a member of the biology faculty, Leona Truchan, helped develop the curriculum for Alverno's new master's degree for teachers and trainers. Students in the program have three semesters of field experience in science education, each at a different grade level, in addition to their required student teaching experience. They also benefit from special science courses that emphasize techniques in science teaching. To find out more about this special program for science teachers, contact an Alverno Admissions Counselor. The science faculty at Alverno is so enthusiastic about their teaching.
Science educators are too often concerned with their research first and their students second.
That doesn't happen at Alverno. An Admissions Counselor can answer your questions about the program, admissions, credit transfers and financial aid.
