19 BIOLOGY (7-12) Students seeking certification to teach in Biology should, as early as possible, consult with the Education department faculty and make their intentions known to their Biology Department advisor so all requirements can be met before the Professional Student Teaching Semester. Please work closely with your Biology advisor and your Education advisor to ensure that all required courses in both areas are completed. Course Requirements: Successful completion of the Comprehensive Track within the Biology major – see college catalog for specific requirements for a BA or BS in Biology. *It is highly recommended that candidates for education certification pursue the BA degree in biology, rather than the BS. The BA allows for greater flexibility with respect to scheduling coursework from both biology and education.
