Science Education: Chemistry/Physics

Education

A.A.T. Degree (D,G,S)

The Science Education program will use the resources of Delaware Tech's programs and faculty in the mathematics, education, science, English, and social science departments. Technology is infused within each of the general education areas. The major electives and physics course selections allow students to complete courses that articulate to a physics or chemistry bachelor degree program.
