"Realizing that there is a shortage of teachers, especially in math and the sciences, we are pleased to offer this NEW opportunity for students to acquire a master's degree as well as a Pennsylvania teaching certificate in math and the sciences. This program comes at a time when baby boomers are reaching retirement age and the need for math and science teachers will be even more crucial. By working on-line and working with professors, students who enter this program will find it both rewarding and insightful."Dr. Jo Ann Holtz
