Biology, B.S., Secondary Education or Biology, B.S., Secondary Education/Special Education Concentration

The Biology, B.S., Secondary Education Concentration provides students with an in-depth, well-rounded biology education that will allow them to master the content needed to teach science in secondary education. Furthermore, students will take a full slate of education courses, and work in tandem with an advisor in the education department, to develop the teaching skills needed to communicate these concepts effectively. Students in this program complete their undergraduate coursework in seven semesters, and then spend their final semester doing student teaching for an area school.  The B.S., Secondary Education/Special Education Concentration option prepares candidates for PA grades 7-12 Special Education certification.
