This program provides a background for the pursuit of a variety of careers in teaching, marine biology, medical and biological research, allied health services, forestry, wildlife biology, horticulture, pollution control, museum work, environmental studies and land-use planning. Students who are considering majoring in biology should visit the Department of Biology early in their college careers to consult with advisors and to obtain information necessary to plan their programs of studies. A study of biology may provide life-long vocational interests. Those who major in biology are provided with a substantial background in all aspects of living organisms. After declaration of a major in biology, students interested in teacher certification must meet with the director of certification and clinical practice, School of Education, Health, and Human Performance. Students must take EDFS 201 during their sophomore year and apply for acceptance into this program no later than the second semester of their sophomore year. Requirements include admission to and successful completion of the approved teacher education program.

Students should have completed a challenging college-preparatory curriculum. The high school course curriculums are English - four units, including one unit of English literature and one unit of American literature, two units should have strong grammar and composition components; Mathematics - four units, includes algebra I and II, and geometry. Fourth unit should be higher-level math selected from among algebra III/trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, statistics, discrete mathematics, or a capstone math course; Laboratory Science - three units (four recommended), two of the units must be in biology, chemistry or physics; Foreign Language - three units, two units must be from the same language; Social Sciences - three units, includes one unit of U.S. history. Government and economics are recommended; Physical Education or ROTC - one unit; Fine Arts - one unit, appreciation of, history of, or performance in one of the fine arts; and electives - one unit, a college preparatory course in computer science (programming, not keyboarding) is recommended. Other acceptable electives include college preparatory courses in English, fine arts, foreign languages, humanities, laboratory science, mathematics, and social sciences. The minimum acceptable SAT scores are 1070-1230 for in-state students (critical reading and math only), 1140-1280 for out-of-state students (critical reading and math only) and ACT scores of 23-27.
