The Queens College Program of Secondary Science Education maintains National Science Teacher Association recognition. The Secondary Science Education Program offers an integrated, broad-based, challenging educational experience with the intellectual, experimental, and on-line interactive skills necessary to perform effectively in any field related to our candidates’ chosen major. Our undergraduate program offers B.A. degrees in Biology Education that lead to initial New York State certification. 
The undergraduate science education program is a combination of undergraduate-level coursework in secondary education, science content, pedagogical science content knowledge, and a two semester clinically-rich student teaching experience at the middle and high school levels. The intent of each program is to graduate students who have a strong base of science content knowledge and solid pedagogical content knowledge based in research, theory, and practice.
