- In addition to the student teaching experience, NSU's program offers a practicum experience, which allows future biology teachers to obtain valuable experience in the biological field.In a practicum experience, you might be a course student instructor offering STEM programs to local schools, or serve as a naturalist in a state park.
- Our biology education degree students historically have achieved a 100 percent pass rate on the Praxis II content certification exam, and the hire rate after completion of this program is near 100 percent. In our small classes, you'll work one-on-one with faculty. Most upper-level courses have no more than 25 students - a great size for you to get to know your fellow students and professor. NSU's biology faculty members teach all their own labs, and they'll get to know you individually.
