Description

MSU Denver’s B.A. Biology program, which requires fewer chemistry courses than the B.S. in Biology, is designed for you to fulfill your calling to teach while sharing your love of science. It is also an advantageous choice as a second major with other science fields that don’t require significant advanced training in chemistry applications, such as wildlife management and ecology. Or if your interest is neuroscience, it can be combined with a psychology major.

MSU Denver’s Biology department offers courses in the entire spectrum of the Biological Sciences, a discipline that has grown exponentially over the past few decades and now includes cell and molecular biology, human anatomy and physiology, genetics, ecology, zoology, microbiology and general botany. You will have the opportunity to participate in research projects with your professors, take study abroad courses to Costa Rica and other countries and intern at organizations such as the Denver Zoo.

The requirements of the B.A. in Biology degree ensure that the program meets Colorado Teacher Licensure Standards and prepares you to pass the corresponding licensure content exam and to teach to the Colorado Model Content Standards. If you are planning to seek teacher licensure, you should consult with an advisor in Biology as well as in teacher education.
