Western Governors University is ideal for the student who can thrive with a high degree of independence.

WGU is the only university in the U.S. to be accredited by four regional accrediting bodies and one national accreditation body recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

Are you a paraprofessional or career-changer who has an interest in teaching science? Are you retired from the military or civil service and want to teach science in a middle or high school? Are you somebody who needs a bachelor's degree and, at the same time, would like to become a certified secondary school science teacher? If any of these are "yes," this could be the program you've been looking for.

The Bachelor of Arts in Science program is designed for prospective teachers with an associate of arts degree or its equivalent and includes teacher certification in middle school and/or high school science. It allows you to earn your bachelor's degree-and a license to teach science at the middle and/or high school level-at your own convenience without requiring you to take traditional classes at a brick-and-mortar campus (none of which may be near you anyway) nor take time away from your work.
