Courses
What Will You Study in Our 6-12 B.Ed. in Biology Education Degree?
In the B.Ed. in Biology Education program, your studies will be broken into 4 core foundations: education courses, practicum and gate courses, biology courses, and student teaching. In your education courses, you can explore fundamental skills to evaluate students, create a curriculum, and teach to the different behavioral and personality differences you might encounter in the classroom.
We want you to be prepared with foundational knowledge for life in the classroom. Your core courses will also include biology, physics, psychology, genetics, ecology, botany, cell biology, and organic chemistry. You will also take part in labs that provide hands-on training, incorporating the things you have studied in the classroom. These experiences can help provide a broad understanding of what’s required to enter a scientific career field and help give you training you to impart that knowledge to your students.
Your student teaching and practicum will then allow you to put the knowledge you’ve gained into practice. You’ll work in the classroom alongside a licensed teacher to help you gain confidence and authority to one day lead your own classroom.
