Undergraduate Teacher Preparation
All majors in math, science, or engineering are invited to join the Teacher Preparation Program at WPI. Teachers with WPI credentials and inquiry-based learning experiences are better prepared for their careers. From the program, you will gain:
- preparation and skills you need to teach biology, chemistry, mathematics, or physics in middle school or high school,
- a Massachusetts-authorized Initial Teaching License, and
- skills and experience acquired outside of the classroom.
Armed with leading-edge educator skills and a mastery of your chosen discipline, you’ll be prepared to become a new kind of teacher – a teacher that engages and challenges students in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) subjects and meets the future challenges of American education.
