Undergraduate Options
The Biology with Education Option
Aims to provide a solid foundation in selected aspects of plant and
animal science and expose students to the practice of science pedagogy.
The option was designed to focus on biology with less emphasis on education courses as it is aimed at students lacking in biology but who, through experience or previous courses, had exposure to the requisite teaching skills.
