The physics content core
Mechanics, waves and optics, electricity and magnetism, and space, time, and motion: algebra-based but relentless. We complete the exams in the order that keeps prerequisites unblocked.

WGU's physics education master's asks working teachers to relearn mechanics, electricity and magnetism, and waves after a full school day. We complete the algebra-based problem-set exams, the science-methods and lab-safety coursework, and the Teacher Work Sample paper, paced around your teaching calendar, with remaining CUs cleared in 6 months or you do not pay. The master's package is $3,500 flat. Coursework Ninja is independent and not affiliated with Western Governors University.
The M.A. in Science Education (Secondary Physics) is WGU's endorsement track for licensed teachers who want to teach high school physics. The content is unforgiving in a specific way: mechanics, waves and optics, electricity and magnetism, and space, time, and motion, all resting on precalculus and calculus, with an algebra-based curriculum course aligned to the physics Praxis and a Teacher Work Sample research paper at the end.
Most teachers adding physics already work full time, and physics problem sets do not fit into planning periods. We complete the content exams, the methods and lab-safety coursework, and the Teacher Work Sample, paced around your school calendar. Remaining CUs finished in 6 months under the agreed plan, or you do not pay.
- Mechanics, waves, and electromagnetism exams completed
- Math prerequisites handled in the right order
- Teacher Work Sample paper delivered to the rubric
- 6-month finish-or-don't-pay guarantee
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
What do we complete in the WGU physics education master's?
The math underneath
Calculus sits under everything in this program, and the September 2026 catalog schedules D890 Calculus I (MATH 2120, 3 CUs) in term 1, so it is cleared first on the plan, not discovered in month four.
Methods and lab safety
The secondary physics methods series with its three-dimensional lesson design, plus the laboratory safety certification and the home lab kit coursework, completed to the rubric.
The Teacher Work Sample
The program's capstone research paper: an original multi-week unit showing you can design instruction, assess student learning, and reflect on the process. We draft it early and revise until it clears.

Key courses in this WGU program
Course names below come from WGU's published program materials for this degree. Assessment labels reflect typical OA/PA patterns for the course type; exact task mix can shift by catalog year. Codes are shown only when verified against an official WGU source.
| Course | Assessment | Where students stall |
|---|---|---|
| General Physics | Paper (PA) | Early path course; good first clear on a weekly plan |
| Science Teaching Methods | Paper (PA) | Early path course; good first clear on a weekly plan |
| Secondary Pedagogy | Paper (PA) | Cleared on the weekly plan instead of drifting |
| Lab Methods | Project PA | Cleared on the weekly plan instead of drifting |
| Preclinical Experiences | Field / clinical (you) | Live hours stay with you; we complete written assessments around them |
| Student Teaching | Field / clinical (you) | Live hours stay with you; we complete written assessments around them |
| Physics Education Capstone | Project PA | Final project; stalls when every other course is still open |

Certifications and transfers
Certifications, licensure, and transfer reality
Student teaching, preclinical experiences, demo teaching, or clinical/practicum hours stay with you. We complete the academic assessments and papers around those pieces, confirmed in writing at intake. Transfer credit varies by transcript. Our completion fee is separate from WGU tuition.
Career outcomes
What graduates do with an M.S. Physics Education
Physics is the hardest secondary license to staff in most states. The master's raises base pay on the graduate lane while shortage stipends stack locally on top.
| Role (BLS occupation) | 2024 median pay | Projected growth 2024-34 |
|---|---|---|
| High school teachers | $64,580 | 2% decline |
| Middle school teachers | $62,970 | 2% decline |
Figures are U.S. national medians from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook: 2024 median annual pay and projected employment change from 2024 to 2034. Pay varies by state, employer, and experience. What happens after a WGU degree: employers, salary surveys, and the already-employed vs career-changer split.
Bottlenecks
Where does the physics education master's usually stall?
What we see most from teachers adding physics:
- Electricity and magnetism deferred because the math feels gone
- Problem sets attempted at midnight, abandoned by the third week
- The Teacher Work Sample saved for a final month that never gets quiet
- A methods PA waiting on a content exam that keeps getting rescheduled

The plan
What does the 6-month physics plan look like?
Months 1-2
Math prerequisites and mechanics first, the foundation everything else sits on, with the first methods task submitted early for feedback.
Months 3-4
Waves, optics, and electricity and magnetism clear weekly; lab-safety and kit coursework completed alongside; Teacher Work Sample scoped.
Months 5-6
The curriculum course and Teacher Work Sample close out, revisions finished inside the window, buffer weeks protected. Finish date in writing.

Questions, answered
The physics content courses are conceptual and algebra-based in style, but the program itself opens with real calculus: per the September 2026 catalog, this track schedules D890 Calculus I (MATH 2120, 3 CUs) in term 1, ahead of every physics content row. Limits, derivatives, integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus are the entry ticket, and that combination, a calculus gate first, then relentless algebra-based problem sets, is exactly what we complete on the plan. D890 now has its own completion page under /courses.
The M.A. track is for licensed teachers adding secondary physics; WGU's M.A.T. track covers initial licensure with clinicals and student teaching. We complete the academic load of either path, and live classroom work stays with you.
The master's package is $3,500 flat with the written 6-month guarantee. Stacking a bachelor's and this master's is $5,500. A single blocking exam starts at $99 with a fixed quote first. Coursework Ninja is independent of WGU.
A comprehensive, original research paper evidencing that you designed and delivered a multi-week, standards-based unit and analyzed the student learning from it. It is the classic last-month stall, so we draft it mid-plan instead.
Yes. The plan is written against your calendar: lighter weekly targets during grading periods, heavier over breaks, and the 6-month finish date committed in writing at intake.
Coursework Ninja is an independent done-for-you degree completion service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Western Governors University.
