Beginning in fall 2021, Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at Arizona State University will offer a Master of Science degree in Education Sciences on the Tempe campus. The new degree program equips educators with the knowledge and skills to conduct and use quantitative research in education. Those skills include designing scientifically valid research studies, measurement, data management, data mining, quantitative data analysis and practical research.

Ariel Anbar and Punya Mishra are the principal investigators for “The Future Substance of STEM Education,” a research project based at ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College.
