This concentration is part of the Geaux Teach–Math and Sciences Program. Students will obtain a degree in biological sciences and, upon completing this concentration, and meeting any additional requirements of the Louisiana Department of Education, will be eligible for certification in the state of Louisiana as teachers in grades 6-12. 120 Total Sem. Hrs.
1 - Option: Begin foreign language requirement (shown in Semesters 3 and 4) in Semester 1 and 2 if continuing in the language studied in high school.
2 - See list and requirements for Biological Science electives here.
3 - Students who have taken both BIOL 4093 and BIOL 4094 may substitute these courses for BIOL 4087 .
4- Students who do not take SCI 2010 and SCI 2011 are recommended to take SCI 2012 by their third semester. Credit will not be given for SCI 2012 if credit has been earned in SCI 2010 and SCI 2011 .
NOTE:
Students must see an advisor in their sophomore year.
EDCI 2500 will count as one of the general education social science courses. Students should plan their course work so that last semester of the senior year can accommodate the 12 hours that are required to be taken concurrently (EDCI 4006 and EDCI 3136 ).
