Noyce STREAM Program Course of Study
The Noyce Science Teacher, Research, Education and Methods (STREAM) program at the University of South Alabama provides scholarship funding and a stipend to support students earning an Alternative Master of Education in General Science to become a certified middle or high school (6-12) science teacher in high needs schools.
Field Experiences
As a Noyce STREAM scholar, graduate students will experience science in the upper Gulf Coast. Students will go on excursions with the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, Mobile Baykeeper, Mobile Environmental Studies Center, Airbus Flightworks and more.
Student Teaching
As a Noyce STREAM scholar, you will have many opportunities to work alongside top-tier science teachers within Mobile and Baldwin County public schools, many of whom are former Noyce scholars from the University of South Alabama. You will be in classrooms that are rich in diversity and working with students to develop their science content knowledge through the use of hands-on, inquiry-based learning.
