| Biology Majors Curriculum |
|
The Biology major (Teacher Certification) prepares students for teaching in the secondary school and offers a relevant series of courses in biology and related sciences to students who are interested in exploring educational career possibilities in the life sciences.
Science requirements for this major are the same as those for the liberal arts Biology major. In addition, students must take sufficient professional education courses for certification. BIOL 201 AND BIOL 203 Human Anatomy and Physiology I and II substitute for BIOL 204 Vertebrate Structure and Development.
No credits will be given for both BIOL 201 , BIOL 203 and BIOL 204
