The BAE program in elementary education with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering and mathematics --- STEM --- has coursework designed for students looking to advance their skills in STEM disciplines and wishing to learn techniques to effectively engage K-12 learners in the 21st century. The coursework informs educators how to equip learners with the specialized STEM knowledge they need to solve challenging problems and apply critical thinking skills. The STEM program offers students a firm grounding in the language, current research and best practices in STEM education accompanied by professional experiences.

The teacher certification program for elementary education with an emphasis in STEM is clinically embedded during both the junior and senior years. Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College students complete internships during their junior year and a full time, year-long apprenticeship, known as their senior year residency, in K-8 classrooms. Coursework is designed to support the development of instructional competencies, professional skills and content knowledge. Coursework is complemented by professional experiences, which provide interns and teacher candidates opportunities to apply and reflect upon their knowledge and skills in teaming and collaborative models. Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College faculty and highly qualified lead teachers from partner school districts and charter schools work in collaboration to support professional growth aligned to each student's personal goals. Additionally, these professional experiences provide students an opportunity to work directly with children and make an immediate impact on student achievement. This intensive, hands-on model of teacher preparation creates highly sought-after graduates and is unmatched in Arizona.
