The Programs<br />
Prepare to teach science (biology or<br />
geoscience) in junior high school and high<br />
school. (For information on the preliminary<br />
and professional clear teaching credentials,<br />
see Education.)<br />
Biology<br />
<strong>Humboldt</strong> has the largest greenhouse in the<br />
California <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> system, where<br />
students can examine a variety of plants in<br />
a variety of microclimates. <strong>Humboldt</strong> also<br />
has an extensive herbarium plus vertebrate<br />
and invertebrate museums. Students gain<br />
hands-on experience using plant growth<br />
chambers and electron microscopes.<br />
In addition, the university has a marine laboratory<br />
in nearby Trinidad.<br />
Geoscience<br />
Besides teacher preparation, this program<br />
is suitable for students with an interest in<br />
earth science who want a broader background<br />
than they would receive in the professional<br />
geologist career option.<br />
<strong>Humboldt</strong>’s natural setting offers many<br />
field opportunities for geologic instruction<br />
and research. Students work on projects<br />
directly with faculty, who encourage their<br />
involvement. <strong>Humboldt</strong> has extensive lab<br />
space, with modern equipment available for<br />
student use.<br />
Preparation<br />
Biology: In high school take biology, chemistry,<br />
and physics (with labs), plus algebra<br />
(beginning and intermediate), trigonometry,<br />
and geometry.<br />
Geoscience: In high school take mathematics,<br />
biology, chemistry, and physics.<br />
Students should prepare to write effectively.<br />
Competence in a language other than<br />
English is desirable.<br />
REQUIREMENTS<br />
Students must earn a minimum grade of<br />
C- in all prerequisite courses.<br />
Please note: Degree requirements listed<br />
here do not include professional education<br />
courses required for the credential.<br />
Students earning this degree may waive<br />
SSAT/Praxis assessments before entering<br />
the credential program.<br />
Before applying to the secondary education<br />
credential program, meet the prerequisite<br />
of 45 hours early field experience or enroll<br />
in SED 210/410.<br />
Courses listed here are subject to change.<br />
