Bachelor of Science [B.S] (Life Science / Chemistry)
Field of Study:
$21,578/Yr
Majors complete most content coursework during their first three years; methods coursework typically begins during the spring of their third year. During the final year of the program, candidates complete remaining content courses, science teaching methods courses, and a year-long placement in a local school district which concludes with 13 weeks of student teaching in the spring.
Life Science/Chemistry students are encouraged to meet with their faculty advisor early in their programs because many courses must be sequenced carefully.
Career opportunities
Of the 1.2 million secondary schools teachers in the U.S., about 109,500 are science teachers in public and private schools. Currently, many school districts have difficulty hiring qualified teachers in some subject areas; most often mathematics, science (especially chemistry and physics), bilingual education and foreign languages. Accordingly, job prospects for ADED science majors are promising, especially in urban or rural school districts.
