Capstone Experience for Biology Majors with Inclusive Childhood Education
Students in the Biology with Inclusive Childhood Education major begin their captsone experience with BIO 350 in the spring of their junior year followed by student teaching in the fall of their senior year. During this time, they develop a proposal for a special project under the guidance of their advisors in biology and in education. In the spring semester, the students deliver an oral presentation to their peers in the Senior Seminar as well as submit an extensive research paper for evaluation. The Biology Comprehensive requirement typically is satisfied by the student completing the Major Field Test in Biology. Sample Program for Biology Major with Inclusive Childhood Education
