Dual Degree Programs
The Department of Biological Sciences, in conjunction with several other Schools, Departments, and Programs on campus, offers several five-year dual degree programs. These include:
B.S. in Biological Sciences / M.S. in Education
Students begin as a Biology major, taking all Biology requirements. In the third year, students apply to the School of Education for admission into the M.S. program. During the fourth year, students begin taking education courses and, during the fifth year, take exclusively education courses.

B.S. in Biological Sciences / M.S. in Environmental Science and Management
Students apply directly to the Environmental Science and Management program and, after acceptance, can choose to study for a B.S. in Biological Sciences, Chemistry, or Environmental Science.
All the requirements for the Biology degree are the same as for a Biology major but, in the forth year, courses in environmental science are taken. These courses count toward biology electives and ESM requirements.
