Biola University 2013–14 Catalog
Choose one of the following: MATH 101
Elective Requirements Choose a minimum of 12 credits of upper-division biological sciences electives. 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: LEDU 301, 330, 341, 425, 433, 436, 437. Please refer to the Education section of the catalog or meet with a credential analyst in the School of Education for program requirements.
