  • 2020-MSSE-Program Reduced.Pdf
    History Master of Science in Science Education Program In May of 1996, the Montana Board of Regents of Higher Education approved a new degree, the Master of Science in Science Education (MSSE), designed for science educators interested in graduate study while remaining employed. It is unusual in two important ways. First, it is an intercollege, interdisciplinary effort. Five colleges, The Graduate School, and sixteen departments collaborate to offer this innovative degree. Second, over eighty percent of the course credits needed to complete the degree are offered by distance learning in structured interactive courses using asynchronous, computer mediated instruction. The National Teacher Enhancement Network (NTEN) program, a National Science Foundation grant funded project since 1992, developed and offers many of the distance learning courses for this degree program. While direct oversight of the program was provided by the Graduate School from inception to 2016, the program was moved to the College of Letters and Science July 1, 2016. In addition to completing core courses in education, those seeking the degree develop interdisciplinary combinations of science courses from offerings in biology, chemistry, earth science, ecology, engineering, microbiology, physics, plant science, and other science content areas. All graduates complete a capstone project in their final year. Norm Reed, Coordinator 1996 to 1998, artfully handled admissions for the first two cohorts, oversaw design and development of core classes, and overall implementation of the program. Carol Thoresen, Coordinator 1999 to 2007, grew the program from 25 to about 60 students per year. Larger enrollment allowed for a wider variety of science course offerings. Carol worked with instructors and researchers to develop over 25 new program courses.
