The Master of Science degree program with a specialization in biology education combines a thorough grounding in educational theory and practice with a biology curriculum you can tailor to your own needs and interests. In the core education courses, you will master an extensive repertoire of teaching techniques, you will examine the ways that race, class and gender impact the teaching-learning connection, and you will learn effective listening and communication skills. From the rich menu of biology courses, you can choose to explore such cutting-edge fields as Human Genetics, Molecular Biology and Population Ecology, and you can elect to pursue specific topics such as ''Fisheries Biology and Aquaculture,'' ''Wildlife and Wilderness Resources'' and ''Vascular Plants of Long Island.''
