Chemistry Education - 5-year B.S./M.A.
Chemistry educators provide their students with the essential elements for a successful future.
Kean's STEM education program — the only one of its kind in New Jersey — offers a solid foundation in science and research, complemented by comprehensive instructional training, curriculum development and career preparation.
The program offers a core curriculum in the first two years that integrates science and mathematics courses with hands-on laboratory work designed to reinforce classroom instruction. Kean's accelerated program allows you to earn both a bachelor's degree in science and technology and a master's degree in instruction and curriculum in just five years.
Chemistry education graduates are advancing science and scientific instruction through their work inside and outside of the classroom, preparing the next generation of innovators, pioneering new research and educating young people about emerging technologies.
