The Graduate School Biology Teaching Group offers an interdisciplinary program that leads to the degree of Master of Science in biology for teachers. Although designed specifically for biology teachers in K-12 schools and community colleges, other life science educators, such as those in environmental learning centers, may find the program especially worthwhile. The program emphasizes broadening the student's understanding of the various fields of biological science, with the improvement of the student's effectiveness as a teacher as the primary goal. Opportunities for course work within the departments of the University in biological science and science education are provided. Each student is asked to perform an in-depth study of a biological science problem in the context of its relevance to the teaching of biological science. Facilities and guidance are provided by a sponsoring professor and advisory committee drawn from the Biology Teaching Group and the several biological science departments of the University.<P>
