Master of Engineering at University of Victoria

Biochemistry, as a science, attempts to understand the chemical basis for all life processes. It draws information from and has an impact on many fields: chemistry, zoology, botany, microbiology, virology, physiology, pharmacology, genetics, medicine, agriculture, and even ecology. The major is intended to provide the student with a strong background in chemistry, physics, and math, together with a broad introduction to biochemistry and biology, which will equip him or her with the tools needed for more specific applications or for advanced, more specialized study. Biochemistry is a great pre-health or pre-med major, meeting most medical school prerequisites.

FSU-Teach is an innovative approach to teacher education that involves collaboration between scientists, mathematicians and education faculty at Florida State University. Biology students in the FSU-Teach program will develop deep biology knowledge and the knowledge, skill, and experience needed to be an effective science teacher. The program will pay for tuition for the first two Education/Teaching prerequisite courses. Work study positions with scientists, mathematicians and local schools are available.

This is a double-major only program. FSU-Teach majors are first admitted into their primary, discipline-specific major and must meet the state-wide common program prerequisites for that major, in this case, Biological Science. Later, students apply for admission into a secondary major within the College of Education called Secondary Science or Mathematics Teaching (SSMT). Upon graduation, students are awarded the B.S. degree with majors in Biology/FSU-Teach and SSMT.
