Opportunities

Graduate and undergraduate research opportunities are available in science education.  If you are interested, please email ridsardi@ewu.edu, and include your resume or CV and research interests.

Interested in a Master of Science in biology with an emphasis in biology education? Projects are available with the potential for department and/or grant funding. A MS degree in biology education is ideal for students interested in deepening their knowledge of biology and biology education. This program will prepare applicants looking to pursue careers teaching at the college level or PhDs in biology or science education. A teaching certificate is not a prerequisite, though current teachers are welcome to apply! Currently part-time evening courses are not provided, but if interested please contact me at ridsardi@ewu.edu. Students looking for a master’s program leading to K-12 teacher certification should consider EWU’s Master in Teaching (MIT) program.

MS students would take courses in biology and education, conduct biology education research, have the opportunity to be a teaching assistant, and complete a thesis project. MS students would have the potential to add bench/field biology research to their program based on their interests and career goals.
