Become an In-Demand Computer Science Educator
Computer science is a fast-growing field, and skilled educators and trainers are in high demand. This program is designed to support the teaching of computer science in educational settings but is NOT intended to lead to K-12 licensure.
NSU’s M.S. in Computer Science Education will prepare you to bridge that educational gap. In addition to pedagogical knowledge, you’ll have the skills necessary to demonstrate the ability to create basic computational artifacts and knowledge of computing systems and their integration. This includes security, privacy, and ethical considerations.
