The mission of the Biological Sciences: Secondary Instruction Program at Biola University is to provide an academically stimulating and challenging environment for intellectual and spiritual growth, preparing students to pursue careers as teachers to make an impact as educators in the secondary classroom. Degree Program A Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Science, Secondary Instruction is offered upon completion of the University baccalaureate and major requirements. The student should be aware that the Advanced Placement (AP) science courses cannot be used to fulfill science requirements for this degree. 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).
