生物学学士学位，主修生物学教育，专为希望获得生物学老师认证的学生而设计。与生物学的学士学位相比，文学学士学位的化学，物理和数学课程更少，而上等课程的选修课程则更多，这为学生提供了更大的自由度来设计自己的学习计划。攻读生物学学士学位的学生将无法满足大多数生物科学研究生课程或健康科学专业课程的最低入学要求。拥有生物学教育学士学位的生物学学士学位课程的学生可以通过完成专业教育核心课程和教育学院的其他必修课程来满足教师认证的要求。
The B.A. in Biology with a Concentration in Biology Education is designed for students who want to pursue teacher certification in biology. The B.A. has fewer courses in Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics than the B.S. in Biology, and more upper division electives, providing students with greater latitude to design their own program of study. Students who pursue the B.A. in Biology will not meet the minimum requirements for admission to most graduate research programs in biological sciences or professional programs in the health sciences.<br><br>The B.A. degree requires that students complete all of the General Education Objectives described in the Academic Information section of this catalog. Students must also satisfy the core requirements listed below and the requirements of the Biology Education Concentration. All graduates of this degree program will earn a B.A. in Biology regardless of the concentration selected.
