MidAmerica Nazarene University has a cooperative agreement with Kansas State University in the area of Veterinary Biomedical Science. This program allows MNU students the Bachelor of Science in Biology degree the opportunity to transfer up to 9 credit hours of graduate credit taken at the Kansas State University-Olathe Campus towards the MNU B.S. Biology major requirements. These credits are pre-determined courses that are part of the M.S. in Veterinary Biomedical Science or the Professional Science Masters curriculum and would count towards those graduate degrees at Kansas State University if students chose to pursue those degrees upon graduation from MNU. These credits will count as upper-division Biology electives in the B.S. Biology degree.
To be eligible for the program students must:
- maintain a 3.5 GPA overall,
- have at least 90 credit hours at MNU, and
- be pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology.
Students pursuing this opportunity will apply to Kansas State University as non-degree seeking graduate students in order to be admitted to the program. If students are interested in this program, they should work closely with their academic advisor in the year preceding application.
Science Education
Students seeking a degree in biology education take a combination of education courses and content specific (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics) courses. The Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology Education is housed in the Department of Teacher Education with service courses in content areas facilitated by the department of Natural, Health, and Mathematical Sciences (NHMS). Students will complete education courses outlined by the Secondary Education, (6-12, P-12 Licensure) in secondary education degree as well as the content specific courses from NHMS.
