The Bachelor of Science in Education with a Life Science specialization equips students for teaching certification in life sciences for grades 7 through 12. The curriculum includes diverse science courses covering geology, chemistry, and physics, with a primary focus on biology. Life Science majors typically finish their core science classes in the initial three years, while teaching methodology courses usually start in the spring semester of their junior year. In their senior year, students wrap up any remaining content classes, take advanced science education methods, and participate in a year-long school district placement culminating in a 13-week student teaching experience during spring term. Early academic advising is strongly recommended for Life Science students, as proper course sequencing is essential for many classes.
