Entry requirements

A degree in a Science Field is the primary mechanism to meet the requirements to enter this program. Specifically, a degree in biology, microbiology, chemistry, physics, or earth science are the typical degrees, but other science degrees are also allowed. However, candidates should meet the minimum content requirements described below. Before applying, we suggest that you consider our guidelines for content-area preparation, listed below, and judge how your science course background compares. Option 1 (less specific, along the lines of minimum state requirements): Have at least 6 college courses in the same field in which you plan to pass the GACE test, at least 4 of which are above the introductory level. Option 2 (more rigorous, strongly recommended and preferred by our faculty): Have taken a two-course, introductory, laboratory sequence in one of these basic science fields, plus specialized courses beyond the introductory level in each of the major subfields listed: Biology (4 of 5 required): Biochemistry/Molecular Biology Cellular Biology Genetics/Evolutionary Biology Anatomy/Phy
