BIOLOGY EDUCATION

Our program helps you realize your potential as a teacher and pass on your passion for biology. With state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, professors focused on teaching, and small class sizes, you’ll acquire the skills needed to deliver optimum learning experiences for students in changing classroom environments.

Study organisms & investigate the foundations of life

Our labs and instructors are available outside of classroom hours for project-oriented experiments and research engagement.

Cultivate the knowledge, skills, attitudes and understanding you need to be an effective teacher in today’s schools by enrolling in the Teacher Education Program at University of Jamestown.

The program is approved by the North Dakota Education Standards and Practices Board (ESPB).

ADMISSION TO TEACHER EDUCATION

Candidates must be formally admitted to the Teacher Education Program in order to enroll in most education courses. Typically, candidates apply for admission to the program while enrolled in EDUC 201: Introduction to Teaching.

To apply, candidates must complete the application form and submit it to the Teacher Education Department by November 1 for spring admission or April 1 for fall admission. Applications are not reviewed during the summer.

Tuition and Financial Aid

We believe every student, regardless of their financial situation, should have access to a UJ education. 100% of our full-time undergraduate students have some type of financial aid, with scholarship packages starting at $8,000 minimum. Your counselor for admissions personally walks you through financial aid, including the process of filing a FAFSA, maximizing your eligibility for aid, and answering any questions you may have along the way.
