What sets the Masters of Natural Science Education degree program apart form other online programs is that we custom make hands-on lab components for every science content course offered. The EOC helps faculty design the hands-on experiences. We also procure parts, assemble, and ship the kits worldwide. Should issues arise with the kits (parts breaking, delivery, customs, etc.) we support teachers to make sure they have what they need to be successful in the course.
