California has a critical need for well-trained science teachers. Secondary school science
plays a critical role in students' decisions to enter the field of science. YOU can make a difference to thousands of lives!
The Science-Education Teacher Preparation Program at UCLA welcomes all students with majors in the Life and Physical
Sciences to explore science teaching as a career.
Opportunities for tutoring and working in schools can begin as early as your sophomore year. The Junior, Senior, and
Master's year programs are more structured and include increasing levels of financial support.
If science teaching is a career option you are considering, you should talk
to your science counselor and the science-education coordinator as soon as
possible. They can help you plan your undergraduate courses now, so that
you have time in your senior year to add the M.Ed. courses.
