BIOLOGY TEACHING CERTIFICATE
Students majoring in Biology qualify for Teacher Certification in
Biology/Secondary Education.
Aims and Objectives
The objectives of the program are: (1) to give the students an opportunity to
become broadly educated in the areas of Biology, and (2) to provide a program of
teacher education which promotes growth, development, attitude and expertise for
successful teaching. Students who wish to prepare themselves as secondary
Biology teachers must make formal application to the teacher education program
through the School of Education. For a detailed explanation of all requirements
refer to the catalog portion under Education.
BIOLOGY MINOR
A total of 24 credits of Biology is required for a minor. Completion of the
following courses will satisfy the requirements for a minor in Biology: BIOL
122-123, BIOL 124-125, BIOL 126- 127, 12 credits above BIOL 200. The 12 credits
of biology electives should be geared toward a specific area of interest (e.g.,
ecology, microbiology, vertebrate biology).
THE NEXT STEP
