New here! Need Help with online Biology Degree

[Jonathan Whatley]

Thank you for your input.  I already have a teaching degree from WGU / Master's degree and I have looked at their Secondary Biology degree, however I would have to do student teaching all over again and I am definitely not going to do that.  I could simply take the Science CSET and be qualified to teach general science with what I already have, which I may just end up doing.  I really wish I could do WGU, I had a great experience and finished very quickly.

Look under the first body subheading on the secondary biology bachelor’s landing page from WGU:

Educational Studies Option

Wanting to explore biological science concepts and how to apply them in a classroom setting, but not looking for licensure and student teaching? Students who want to study biology education but aren't quite ready to pursue the clinical experiences can earn a Bachelor of Arts in Educational Studies with an emphasis in Secondary Biology. This allows students to learn the same material and complete the same courses, but not include the student teaching component of their education.
