MA/MS in Biology, General

This web-delivered teaching master's in biology prepares educators to teach dual-credit biology at high schools or at community colleges. It joins biological science with teaching methods. Students study cellular and organismal biology and ecology, along with specialties from biochemistry and immunology to bioinformatics and molecular genetics. They learn to break down complex ideas so they are easier to teach. Practical work includes designing experiments and assignments that engage students, and critically reviewing biology-related media to find relevant classroom examples. The web-based delivery is meant to suit the schedules of working teachers. Prospective students can estimate costs, look for scholarships, and submit an application through links on the program page, and an academic advisor can help map a realistic route to graduation.
