Program(s) Available: B.S.Ed., Minor

Are you someone who enjoys solving problems, taking things apart, working independently, using math, questioning why things are the way they are and teaching others? If so, a major in chemistry education could be right for you!

Why Study Chemistry Education at Northwest

Chemistry education majors at Northwest study the chemistry curriculum and learn methods to apply it in the classroom. This major prepares students to teach all chemistry courses at the secondary education level (grades 9-12). 

Like all Northwest chemistry majors, students study the science of matter and its transformations from one form to another. Faculty focus on providing practical laboratory experience and foundational knowledge in organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, physical chemistry and analytical chemistry. 

In education courses, faculty incorporate practical teaching knowledge where students learn to implement a curriculum in the classroom, create a positive classroom environment, methods of effective communication and techniques for assessing learners’ progress in the classroom.
