Your Path to Success

Physics is among the pillars of the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) disciplines; however, there is a shortage of highly qualified physics teachers in every state. The B.S. in Secondary Physics Education provides you rigorous training in the discipline along with the necessary skill sets to effectively teach at the middle and high school levels as a highly qualified and certified teacher in the state of Florida.

You will learn educational theories and effective teaching practices, and participate in field experiences at area schools, which will require observation and participation.
