MSTQE is designed for undergraduate students interested in developing deep and broad based literacy in math, physical and life sciences and technology. Most students in the program go on to major in education and many elect to become teachers of math and general science. Others go on to teach in informal education, in museums, libraries, environmental education and other venues.
