The Life Science/Chemistry Licensure Program is a professional teaching major
centered on biology and chemistry. Students in this program complete a rigorous
curriculum in the sciences of chemistry and biology that emphasizes not only content
knowledge but also critical thinking and laboratory skills. The program has two
options: Option #1 emphasizes biology more than chemistry; Option #2 emphasizes
chemistry more than biology. Upon completion, teachers holding this dual-field
degree will be competent, effective teachers in biology and chemistry for grades 7-12.
