Program Overview
The major in Biology with Secondary Teacher Certification provides a broad education in the fundamentals of biology via the classroom setting and through hands-on learning in laboratories and at field sites coupled with the courses necessary to obtain certification to teach at the secondary level. To develop a strong set of skills which will contribute to the future teaching mission, students are encouraged to obtain specialized training by participating in basic and applied research in ecology, genetics, microbiology, plant physiology, aquatic biology, cell and molecular biology, physiology, cancer biology, and more.
