Do you feel called to pass on your knowledge of biology to young learners?
A degree in Biology Education will train you to educate youth about the wonders of creation. You’ll be prepared as a biologist and as a middle or high school teacher. You’ll also take advanced courses that will give you the option to pursue teaching college biology classes or find another biology career. By the time you graduate, you will have already taught a full semester of biology to real students, either domestically or abroad, in two different schools and grade levels.
Education courses will teach you to create a classroom atmosphere suitable for Biology students to learn and grow. By performing research-oriented labs with state-of-the-art lab equipment and learning lab fundamentals, you will be ready to create and conduct labs in your own classroom. You’ll be confident in your ability to communicate scientific concepts relative to students’ grade level and learning development.
Education and biology will come together when you learn to address moral and ethical interactions between science and society and explain difficult scientific concepts to students.
