Graduate Programs in Integrative STEM Education
Arcadia’s Integrative STEM Education, MEd prepares you to plan, teach, assess, and reflect on integrated STEM instruction inside and outside the classroom. Specifically, you learn to incorporate, develop, and implement units of study and curricula that promote skills such as creativity, innovation, critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration in Pre K-12 classrooms.
A Master of Education (MEd) in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) integrates concepts that are usually taught as separate subjects in different classes and emphasizes the application of knowledge to real-life situations. A lesson or unit in a STEM class is typically based around finding a solution to a real-world problem and tends to emphasize project-based learning.
