Description
To provide more opportunities for professional development for in-service high school physics teachers, a study of a new program (not yet approved) for you to earn a Master of Arts in Physics Education Degree from the Department of Physics at the University of Virginia will be presented. The degree program is based on a similar program that existed and graduated over 150 teachers during the years from about 2000 to 2015. The degree requires 30 credit hours of graduate credit physics courses. This normally consists of ten courses of 3-credit hours each. There are both required and elective courses. The required courses are taken in residence in the summer and most electives are taken online in the Fall and Spring semesters. The overall matriculation plan, specific required courses and electives, in-state and out of state tuition rate, possible discount tuition rates, and summer residential university apartment living and cost will be discussed.
