at Stony Brook University
with a Concentration in Earth and Space Sciences
at Stony Brook University
This Master’s degree program is for:
• Earth Science teachers who have initial
certification in Earth Science but need a
Master’s degree to become fully certified
• Teachers in science or other disciplines, who need a master’s degree and want to be certified in Earth Science
• Teachers in science or other disciplines, who need a master’s degree and want to be certified in Earth Science
This MS degree program was developed to
accommodate science teachers and includes
new earth science graduate courses in
astronomy, atmospheric sciences and
geosciences specifically designed to cover in
detail and depth the material taught in the New
York State earth science curriculum.
The emphasis will be on understanding and describing processes so that teachers will be able to more easily convey this information to the earth science students.

This non-thesis M.S. degree program requires a total of
31 credits. Of these 31 credits, 30 credits must be from
courses with the ESS designator or other approved
graduate courses in the fields of astronomy, atmospheric
sciences or geology.
ESS 501 Foundations of Earth Science (3 cr.)
and ESS 610 Capstone Project (1 cr.) are required.
Individual course programs will be developed for each student in consultation with the Earth Science education advisor based on the student’s academic background and intended goals.
