C389 Science, Technology, and Society (EDUC 5409, 2 CUs in the September 2026 WGU catalog) sits in all five M.A. Science Education tables: term 2 of the Middle Grades, Secondary Biological Science, Secondary Chemistry, and Secondary Earth Science tracks, and term 3 of the Secondary Physics track. The course explores how science influences and is influenced by society and technology: the nature and history of science, its applications, and the scientific and engineering processes used to conduct investigations, make decisions, and solve problems. No prerequisites. Coursework Ninja completes C389 done-for-you, fixed quote in writing first. From $99. Independent of WGU.
Per WGU's published description, Science, Technology, and Society explores the ways in which science influences and is influenced by society and technology. A humanistic and social endeavor, science serves the needs of ever-changing societies by providing methods for observing, questioning, discovering, and communicating information about the physical and natural world. The course prepares educators to explain the nature and history of science, the various applications of science, and the scientific and engineering processes used to conduct investigations, make decisions, and solve problems. There are no prerequisites for this course.
All five M.A. Science Education tables carry C389: term 2 of the Middle Grades, Secondary Biological Science, Secondary Chemistry, and Secondary Earth Science tracks, and term 3 of the Secondary Physics track, right after the C670 opener. For a teacher coming off the content survey, this is the pivot from learning science to explaining science: where it came from, how it earns trust, and how it fits inside the society that funds it. Message us the code and where you stand, and we quote a flat price in writing.
Every full package includes the written 6-month guarantee: we finish the remaining CUs under the agreed plan, or you do not pay. Packages: Bachelor's $3,000 · Master's $3,500 · both $5,500 · single assessments from $99.
Coverage
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. Student communities report a written or objective assessment for the science education graduate courses in this lane. We confirm the current format for your catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment C389 carries.
Half of the course's central question: the ways science influences society. Medicine, energy, agriculture, communication: the applications thread runs through case examples, and the scored skill is explaining the influence precisely, not gesturing at it.
The other half, and the one working teachers underestimate: how society influences science. Funding priorities, public trust, ethics, and policy all shape what gets investigated and how results land. The course treats science as a humanistic and social endeavor, and the assessment expects that framing.
A stated outcome: explaining the nature and history of science. How scientific knowledge is built, revised, and communicated, and how that history explains the methods scientists use now. This is the philosophy-of-science layer the content courses do not teach.
The course's practical thread: the scientific and engineering processes used to conduct investigations, make decisions, and solve problems. For teachers, this is the directly portable part: the process vocabulary their own students will be graded on.
C389 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining M.A. Science Education list it folds into the flat $3,500 master's package, every remaining academic CU under the written 6-month finish guarantee, the methods PAs and the TPA capstone scoped in the same plan.

Bottlenecks
C389 stalls because it is neither a content course nor a methods course: teachers who signed up for science get a society-and-philosophy course, and teachers who wanted the philosophy keep waiting for formulas that never arrive. These are the stalls we take over most often.

Per the September 2026 WGU institutional catalog, Science, Technology, and Society (EDUC 5409, 2 CUs) explores the ways in which science influences and is influenced by society and technology, treating science as a humanistic and social endeavor that serves ever-changing societies. It prepares educators to explain the nature and history of science, the various applications of science, and the scientific and engineering processes used to conduct investigations, make decisions, and solve problems. There are no prerequisites.
Per the current catalog, all five M.A. Science Education tables carry it: term 2 of the Middle Grades, Secondary Biological Science, Secondary Chemistry, and Secondary Earth Science tracks, and term 3 of the Secondary Physics track. If your degree plan shows EDUC 5409, this is the course.

It is a course about science, not in a science: no labs, no formulas to drill. It covers the nature and history of science, how science and society shape each other, and the scientific and engineering processes behind investigations and decisions. Teachers who expect a lighter version of their content courses are the ones most surprised.
C670 is the term-one content foundation: the themes shared across chemistry, physics, biology, and the geosciences. C389 is the term-after pivot: what science is, how it got here, and how it interacts with society and technology. One builds the content base, the other builds the explanatory frame, and the tables schedule them in that order.
One course starts at $99, with the exact figure fixed in writing once we know where you stand. On a longer remaining M.A. Science Education list, the master's package is $3,500 flat with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every course on the plan, this one included.
