4. Demonstrate an ability to integrate faith and learning as it relates to biological sciences and to practice science with integrity as good stewards of creation (ULO 2). Each Program Learning Outcome (PLO) listed above references at least one of the University Learning Outcomes (ULO 1, 2, 3), which may be found in the General Information (p. 5) section of this catalog. Requirements Admission Recommendations Recommended high school courses are: one year of biology, one year of chemistry, three years of mathematics, and two years of foreign language. One year of physics is desirable. Graduate/Professional School Requirements The student should be aware that most graduate programs and many professional schools require an overall minimum GPA of 3.0 and that a grade of "C" or better was earned for all science courses. Concentrations General Biology (70+ Credits) General Education Requirements All Biological Science majors automatically meet the general education requirement of 8 credits of science and mathematics. The foreign language requirement is met by two years in high school or the first 4 credits in college. PHIL 215 is strongly recommended for all biological science majors. Core Requirements A minimum of 43 credits from the Department of Biological Sciences, including: BIOS 111 Fundamentals of Cellular and Molecular Biology

Secondary Education Minor The School of Education offers a state-approved professional teacher preparation program which leads to a preliminary single subject teaching credential in the state of California. The single subject credential authorizes the holder to teach the specific subject named on the credential. In most cases individuals with this credential will be qualified for employment in middle schools and high schools. Candidates are advised to major in the subject area they wish to teach and add the teacher preparation program as a minor to their major. Candidates who take the following 18 credits qualify for a Secondary Education Minor:
