In searching for this, you will likely find yourself learning about the Space Shuttle Endeavor as the graduate program was named after it. The program is very flexible as you can take as little as one class per semester. Not to mention, it is entirely online! The program format involves five (online) live classes per course and coursework to be completed asynchronously. It is a partnership with many institutions including US Satellite Laboratories. The program allows students to pursue a 15 credit graduate certificate in STEM Leadership or complete a Masters. I would highly recommend this!!
In pursuing a Masters, you can choose a MA in Curriculum and Instruction from Adams State University or a M.Ed. in Science Education from Northeastern State University.
