Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Science Education] From Bob Jones University

At BJU you?ll take challenging science courses that build a firm foundation in science and prepare you to teach. All courses are taught from a literal six-day recent Creation perspective.

Within the program you can choose between two tracks: biology and composite science. Focusing on biology allows you to explore in depth the science of living things. In this track you?ll gain a solid understanding in the basics of biology, such as how cells function, and you?ll even delve into other complex subjects, such as virology.

Or if you choose the composite science track, you?ll take a broader look at science, with courses in geology, astronomy and chemistry?to let you prepare for a wider variety of teaching roles.

Nearly every week you?ll spend time planning, executing and reporting laboratory experiments. You?ll go beyond learning the facts to understanding the concepts and learning to think like a scientist.

In addition, you?ll take methods courses that challenge you to think outside the box as a teacher. You?ll learn about tickets-to-go, graphic organizers, think-pair-share and many other effective educational strategies. You?ll also receive training in the most up-to-date educational technology, such as probeware to use in labs and Promethean boards, providing even more exciting tools to help your students learn. You?ll analyze curriculum from a variety of publishers and learn to conduct effective science demonstrations and lab exercises. A review of national science content and teaching standards will prepare you for your chosen profession.

At the end of the day, living for Christ is what really matters. Bob Jones University is committed to helping you follow Christ, the Ultimate Teacher, whether in public school, Christian school or overseas.
