Biological Science: Secondary Instruction, B.S.

to pursue careers as teachers to make an impact as educators in the secondary classroom. Learning Outcomes Program Learning Outcomes Upon completion of the Bachelor of Science in Biological Science: Secondary Instruction, students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate a knowledge of and ability to explain scientific methodology (ULO 1). 2. Demonstrate an understanding of and ability to explain the bio- molecular basis of life (ULO 1). 3. Describe and classify the diversity of organismal form, structure and function, and the relationship of the organisms to one another and the environment (ULO 3). 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.
