Teacher Certification in Adolescent Biology - Grades 7 through 12
Students wishing to major in biology and receive an initial teacher certification for grades 7-12 must complete all the requirements for the BS in biology, which include the requisite 36 credits in science, as well as 33 credits in education outlined in this bulletin.  This program will require a minimum of 144 credits. The student will eventually need to obtain a Master's Degree in order to gain full certification ( See Graduate PRograms in Science Education).

In addition, the department of Biological Sciences has a cooperative agreement with the Biology Department of Adelphi University in Garden City, Long Island, New York, wherein a number of qualified Iona graduates will have entry to the Adelphi graduate program in biology.
