This program will prepare students to teach biology by instructing them in the standards of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA). The courses listed in the biology major (see previous pages) and the secondary education courses (see education section) make up the program for teacher licensure, grades 6-12.
Additional requirements for teacher endorsement include:
- ENVS 135 Earth Science - 2
- STAT 220 Inferential Statistics - 2
Enrollment in upper-level biology, biochemistry, chemistry and environ- mental environmental science courses (BIOL, BIOCH, CHEM, ENVS 300s and 400s) requires a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 in all science and math courses (BIOL, BIOCH, CHEM, ENVS, MATH, PHYS). Students who fail to earn a C- in any coursework required for their major should promptly schedule a meeting with their advisor.
