Nova Southeastern University (NSU) Fischler School of Education and Human Services (FSEHS) will offer a new degree in secondary school biology education in the fall term of 2007. In addition to a comprehensive set of pedagogical courses specifically designed for biology instruction, there will be a specialty component with a variety of science courses composing the content of the secondary biological sciences based on the Florida Sunshine State Science Standards, and the current State-wide assessment in the sciences at grades 8 and 11. Biology certification is a generic certification that allows teachers to provide instruction at the middle school level as well as many biological and environmental courses at the high school level.
