 Return to: ACADEMIC PROGRAMS A-Z
Students seeking initial certification at the early childhood and childhood levels may double major in Biology and Inclusive Early Childhood/Childhood Education. Students in this double major are required to have a minimum overall GPA of 2.7 before moving into INCH coursework which typically begins fall semester of the junior year. The biology with inclusive early childhood/childhood education major requires six courses, all with laboratory. A full year of inorganic chemistry is also required. Interwoven throughout the curriculum is a four-semester course sequence focusing on scientific communication and research. The final course in the sequence serves as the capstone course where students will demonstrate integration of their learning. Student teaching will be completed in the fall of senior year.

Biology Core - Inclusive Early Childhood/Childhood Education
The Biology core provides the foundation for this program. Students take the courses listed below, as well as four additional biology electives. The capstone experience prepares the students for their exit examination and subsequent career plans. Elective Courses for Biology - Major
Biology majors select 1 course from each of the following lists of courses (Cellular/Molecular, Organismal, Ecology) for a total of 3 courses and a minimum of 11 credits (two of the three courses must have a lab component). The fourth Biology elective can be any upper division Biology course for Biology majors (3 or 4 credits). Note: Each course chosen will only satisfy ONE requirement.
Note: All courses must be taken with the laboratory whenever a laboratory is offered. Cellular/Molecular Electives
Students select at least one from this list: Organismal Electives
Students select at least one from this list: Ecology Electives
Students select at least one from this list: Fourth Biology Elective
Students must choose one additional course of at least three credits from any of the three categories above (cellular/molecular, organismal, ecology). SCI 450 (Advanced Scientific Research) is also an available elective, as long as students take a minimum of three credits.
Note: Each course chosen will only satisfy ONE requirement.
