Students at the University of Nebraska at Kearney will develop biology knowledge, skills, and experience needed to be an effective science teacher with a Biology 7-12 Education major. Working alongside faculty members in the department, mentors encourage active participation and hands-on learning, emphasize research and discovery, and are committed to the development of future biology teachers.
After completing the requirements, a graduate will be qualified to teach grades 7-12 in public or private school systems or can pursue an advanced degree. Education degrees are a cornerstone of UNK, which has produced some of Nebraska’s top biology teachers.

"I found the department faculty very approachable and ready to answer any of my questions. Never once did I feel as though I had asked a question that was beneath them.” Ben Klein, a fourth-generation education graduate from Kearney State/UNK, has a natural love for the outdoors and a father who teaches high school biology. “I am genetically predisposed to teach biology."
