Students in education who desire to become science teachers have found the biology minor important. A particular advantage of the UW-Green Bay biology program is the opportunity for undergraduate students to gain practical experience. Many students work with faculty on independent research projects. There is an active internship program with private, state and national agencies, and with industry. Such experiences are beneficial when entering the job market or seeking admission to graduate and professional schools.
Students also have ready access to microcomputers.
Students get to practice their knowledge in both field and laboratory settings, contributing to a broader and stronger educational experience. Students master the basic skills needed for success in the biology field. Many occupations today require a college-educated individual who can write and speak well, solve problems, learn new information quickly and work well with others on a team. Students in the biology program will develop these skills with excellence. Students seeking information on teacher certification should contact the Education Office.
