The University of Virginia Department of Physics and School of Continuing and Professional Studies are pleased to offer the Master of Arts in Physics Education program. Through distance learning and summer study at UVa, MAPE provides middle school physical science and high school physics teachers with a stronger background in physics. Each year students take two courses in the summer in residence at UVa and usually two distance-learning course during the academic year. Students can complete their requirements of 30 hours for the MAPE degree in two and a half years. Advising is available through the Department of Physics. Teachers can start at any time during the sequence of courses. The MAPE program is not designed to prepare you to teach physics at a Community College or 4-year College.
