Bachelor of Arts - Physical Science - Teacher Education Emphasis

The multidisciplinary department of physical science at Southern Utah University offers undergraduate programs in chemistry, geosciences, geographic information systems, and physics. Dedicated and highly qualified faculty represent numerous disciplines, offering students expertise in the classroom and a wide variety of undergraduate research opportunities. A low student to faculty ratio guarantees a close working relationship between students and their professors, especially in upper division classes. The mission and role of the physical science teacher education degree is to provide an environment that fosters academic breadth in the disciplines of chemistry, geography, geology, physics and education in order to obtain the competencies required to teach physical science in a secondary school.
