To earn teacher certification in biology (for teaching in middle school or high school), students will need to complete a bachelor’s degree in a biological science field and also complete professional education course work through the College of Education to earn teacher certification.

The College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Education work together to help coordinate the major courses with the teacher education core requirements.

The biology major has an integrated teaching track that enhances and coordinates with the professional education core.

Supplemental Pre-Professional tracks are available for students interested in pursuing further professional education. If there is interest in one of these tracks in addition to the degree, please let the recruiter know. The options are: • Pre-Dentistry • Pre-Law • Pre-Medicine • Pre-Nutrition & Exercise Physiology • Pre-Occupational Therapy • Pre-Optometry • Pre-Pharmacy • Pre-Physical Therapy • Pre-Physician Assistant • Pre-Speech & Hearing Sciences

• Pre-Veterinary Medicine
