Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Majors, Options, and Minors

The Biology for Secondary Teachers Option gives high-quality academic preparation to students who wish to become Colorado licensed grades 7-12 science teachers. This option is extremely demanding and requires careful planning and advising. Students choosing this option should consult a Biology Department advisor as early as possible in their careers, and should read the Teacher Education  section of this catalog, for the steps and requirements for applying to the Teacher Education Licensure Program.

** Students may complete this degree within the 126-credit maximum, but to do so they must use courses from the major to complete certain General Education requirements (e.g., ED 222, Chem 150, Bio 112, and Math 201). Using these courses to meet both major and Gen Ed requirements enables the student to complete within the 126-credit limit.
