Bachelor of Science - Education - Secondary Biology Education

Nova Southeastern University’s Bachelor of Science in Secondary Biology Education focuses on developing teacher-leaders by providing them with a comprehensive set of courses specifically designed for biology instruction and a specialty component that includes a variety of science courses that comprise the content of the Florida Department of Education-approved Secondary Biology Education major. The courses are based on the Florida Standards and the current statewide assessment in biology (grades 6–12). Course content is research-based and infuses best practices in education and strategies for teaching biology.

Upon successful completion of the program, students will be prepared to sit for Florida state certification exams, which will allow them to teach biological and environmental courses at the middle school or high school level. Additionally, they will develop the skills to promote equity, cultural awareness and social responsibility in diverse educational settings.
