Why Major in Biology Education?

Learn how to effectively share your love of biology with the next generation of scientists.

A degree in Biology Education will give you a strong foundation in the biological sciences as well as the skills you need to teach biology at the secondary level. You’ll take a core group of classes in cells, energy, organisms, ecology, evolution, genetics, and cell biology as well as laboratory experience followed by supporting science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) courses and classes in education. This background will help you follow a career as a middle or high school biology teacher or any other position where having a background in STEM education is helpful.
