Students pursuing a combined Biology/Education major obtain their bachelor's degree while simultaneously earning a California Preliminary Single Subject Teaching Credential. This qualification allows graduates to teach biology and general science at both middle and high school levels.
The program's curriculum has been recently updated to maintain leadership in biological education. First-year students explore foundational topics in ecology, evolutionary biology, cellular biology, and molecular biology. The second year builds on this foundation with genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology courses, while the third and fourth years offer specialized advanced biology electives. As biology emphasizes hands-on learning, students complete a sequence of lab courses that teach essential techniques and problem-solving methods in biological sciences.
