Dean Vanlandingham coordinates the applications for teaching programs.
Most students apply either during the middle of their sophomore or junior years.
Since the Teaching of Biology program has many lab requirements and school observation hours, many students need 10 semesters to complete the program. You may be more ready to apply during your junior year. The area committee for secondary science education examines the applications and notifies students of acceptance into the program. The minimum gpa to enter the program is 2.5, but in years with many applicants, the competition may make a higher gpa the standard. Once you have changed into the TOB curriculum, you will have access to professional education courses.
