Bachelor of Science - Biology - Secondary Education 7-12

The field is ripe with opportunity, and far-reaching. Possible careers include research scientist, pharmacologist, ecologist, biotechnologist, forensic scientist and much more. Students acquire a sound subject knowledge base and the practical skills needed to become competent biologists, whichever concentration they choose. In addition to courses in the biology program, students have the opportunity to build specialized ancillary professional skills via courses in GIS (Geography Department), statistics (Mathematics Department), chemical analysis (Chemistry Department), and geomorphology (Earth Sciences Department).

The Bachelor of Science - Biology with 7-12 teaching certification is for future Biology Teachers. They have the same biology requirements as the B.S. Biology program, but generally take fewer cognate Chemistry courses. They also must take a number of educational courses from the College of Education and Science Education department.
