The program offers an integrative interdisciplinary structure with a curriculum that includes advanced academic biological sciences course work electives, individually selected from upper-division and graduate-level schoolwide offerings. Students also choose from external field experience, research lab experience, or a graduate course in the School of Education. A special graduate-level integrative biological science course, Experimental Evolution in Biology and Education, is part of the required core courses. 

The four additional core courses comprise a blend of advanced training in the field of science education and leadership, media production technologies, and educational media design. The biological and educational course work are integrated through the productive synthesis of pedagogical methods, science content, and media design, culminating in a capstone project of biological science educational media that is presented and defended in the final quarter of study.
