Science Education
at Towson University
Towson University is unique in that it is one of the few academic institutions to have a significant number of education faculty housed in the content departments. For example, Towson has education faculty in the Department of Physics, Astronomy, and Geosciences, the Department of the Biological Sciences, and the Department of Mathematics.

The science education faculty in the Department of Physics, Astronomy, and Geosciences are Dr. Cody Sandifer, Dr. Pamela Lottero-Perdue, and Dr. Rommel Miranda. These faculty are responsible for teaching content and methods courses for elementary and early childhood students, providing in-service workshops for teachers in neighboring counties, and conducting research on the teaching and learning of science.

The pull down menus above outline the science education offerings within the Department of Physics Astronomy and Geosciences. For information about special projects in science ed, including the work of faculty in other content departments, use the helpful links at left.
