Undergraduate Teacher Education Program
Biology Licensure

The biology major offers several avenues for study in the life sciences, including programs in biology, teacher education, premedical and pre-veterinary studies. All candidates pursuing the biology major will take courses such as general biology, ecology and environmental science, genetics, chemistry, physics and special topics seminars. Other optional courses within the major include plant biology, anatomy and physiology, embryology and cell biology. Some of our graduates obtain positions in pharmaceutical and environmental firms such as Novartis, LabCorp and Genetic Designs; others obtain positions in science museums and zoos. Education majors are hired to teach in middle and high schools. Some candidates choose to attend graduate and professional schools. Biology majors can elect to intern in veterinary or medical practices or in science centers during the junior and senior years.

Candidates desiring North Carolina licensure should be aware that graduation with licensure may require more than the minimum 124 semester hours.
