Hello,
My son is interested in becoming a secondary school biology teacher. He is a junior at a private school and we are starting to research some colleges and universities. All seem to have the same freshman year course sequence…Biology 101 with lab, Chemistry 101 with lab , and calculus. This can be a very difficult course sequence…more difficult than if he wanted to be a pre-med.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what a more reasonable course sequence can be?

And can anyone suggest some schools which prepare one to become a secondary school biology teacher?

Thanks!!
