ACADEMIC PROGRAMS:

 
   
BIOLOGY B.A. with Education concentration (BioEducation)  
The BioEducation concentration is designed to meet the needs of students who plan careers as K-12 science teachers. It provides students with a rigorous education in biology through science breadth courses to prepare them for the state credentialing examinations (CSET) in biology/life science and general science, and courses covering education theory and practical teaching experience through internships in local schools.
