Mississippi State University

Teachers in Geoscience

 

Welcome to Andrew Stephens' MSU Website!


I am Andrew Stephens and I am currently completing my MS in Geosciences at Mississippi State UniversityTeachers in Geosciences Program and the Geosciences Distance Learning Program. I started the program in August of 2008 and expect to complete the program in August of 2010. My classes include geology, meteorology, historical geology, weather prediction, oceanography, environmental science, planetary science, hydrology, research methods, local field methods, and a field study in Yellowstone National Park. These webpages are part of the activities for research methods in geosciences. In addition to taking classes at MSU, I teach at New Vista High School in Boulder, CO. Currently I am teaching physical science and biology and working towards my National Board Certification. Feel free to contact me.
