Coursework Ninja completes the WGU B.S. Science Education (Secondary Biology) academic load: genetics, cell biology, ecology, and zoology and botany assessments finished, general science and lab courses cleared, secondary science methods PAs delivered to the rubric, paced around clinical and student-teaching windows, with remaining academic CUs done in 6 months or you do not pay. The bachelor's package is $3,000 flat. Coursework Ninja is independent and not affiliated with Western Governors University.
The B.S. Science Education (Secondary Biology) is 41 courses to a secondary biology teaching license: a genuine science core (genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, evolutionary biology, ecology, zoology and botany with lab) plus a year of general physics, chemistry, and earth science, teaching methods, clinicals, and a student-teaching term. It is a lot of content, and lab-style PAs multiply the writing load.
We complete the academic load: the biology content assessments, the general science and lab courses, and the secondary methods PAs, sequenced around clinical and student-teaching windows on a written weekly schedule. Live classroom requirements stay with you. Remaining academic CUs finished in 6 months under the agreed plan, or you do not pay.
- Genetics, cell, molecular, and evolutionary biology assessments finished
- General science and lab courses cleared
- Secondary science methods PAs completed
- 6-month finish-or-don't-pay guarantee
Every full package includes the written 6-month guarantee: we finish the remaining CUs under the agreed plan, or you do not pay. Packages: Bachelor's $3,000 · Master's $3,500 · both $5,500 · single assessments from $99.
Coverage
What do we complete in the WGU B.S. Secondary Biology Education?

Certifications and transfers
Certifications, licensure, and transfer reality
Student teaching, preclinical experiences, demo teaching, or clinical/practicum hours stay with you. We complete the academic assessments and papers around those pieces, confirmed in writing at intake. Transfer credit varies by transcript. Our completion fee is separate from WGU tuition.
Career outcomes
What graduates do with a B.S. Biology Education
The degree leads to a secondary science license, and science sits with math on every district shortage list. Pay is set by district salary schedules, shown below as BLS national medians.
| Role (BLS occupation) | 2024 median pay | Projected growth 2024-34 |
|---|---|---|
| High school teachers | $64,580 | 2% decline |
| Middle school teachers | $62,970 | 2% decline |
Figures are U.S. national medians from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook: 2024 median annual pay and projected employment change from 2024 to 2034. Pay varies by state, employer, and experience. What happens after a WGU degree: employers, salary surveys, and the already-employed vs career-changer split.
Bottlenecks
Where does the WGU biology education degree usually stall?
What we see most from future biology teachers:
- A chemistry or physics course avoided by someone who came for the biology
- Lab-writeup PAs that balloon into weekends because the rubric was never mapped
- Forty-one courses with no order, so gen ed gets cleared and the science core piles up
- Clinical hours and student teaching consuming the exact hours the labs needed
Only need one course finished? Single OA / PA / CU completion starts at $99. Message us the course code for a fixed quote. See full package pricing.
The plan
What does the 6-month biology education plan look like?
Months 1-2
Gen ed leftovers and the general science base (physics, chemistry, earth science with labs) cleared first, with the first methods PA submitted early for feedback.
Months 3-4
The biology content core on weekly clears: genetics, cell and molecular biology, ecology, zoology and botany, paced around clinical windows and the school calendar.
Months 5-6
Remaining academic CUs close before student teaching peaks. Revision buffer protected; the written finish date holds.

Questions, answered
No. Early clinical, advanced clinical, observation hours, and student teaching are live, supervised placements and stay with you. We complete the academic assessments: science OAs, lab PAs, and methods tasks.
Yes. The lab-style courses in this program are completed as written assessments and reports against the rubric. We produce them on the weekly schedule like every other PA.
The bachelor's package is $3,000 flat, which covers the agreed remaining academic CUs with the written 6-month finish guarantee. A single blocking course starts at $99 with a fixed quote first. Coursework Ninja is independent of WGU.
Yes, science-adjacent work converts directly into faster clears on the content core. The methods PAs are usually the new skill, and those are exactly what we write to the rubric daily.
The program leads to initial secondary biology licensure, and WGU designs it for eligibility across the United States. Your state's testing requirements vary; those exams, clinicals, and student teaching remain yours.
Per the September 2026 catalog, the secondary biology path runs a verified sequence: Probability and Statistics (D888, MATH 3110) in term 4, Three Dimensional Science and Engineering (D874, EDUC 3267) in term 5 as the first of the three science methods courses with a catalog-stated integrated performance assessment task, Secondary Science Teaching Methods (D875, EDUC 3268) in term 7 with the catalog note that it counts toward 7 of the 51 SCED clinical hours, and Laboratory Safety (D873, EDUC 3266, 1 CU) in term 8. All four have their own completion pages under /courses and fold into the $3,000 bachelor's package; live clinical and student-teaching pieces always stay with you.
Per the September 2026 catalog, the biology content core is now mapped end to end: D877 General Biology II (BIO 3010, 3 CUs) in term 6, D887 Molecular Biology (BIO 3070, 3 CUs) and D876 Cell Biology (BIO 3000, 3 CUs) in term 7 beside General Ecology and Secondary Science Teaching Methods, and the term-8 pile-up of D879 Genetics (BIO 3030, 3 CUs), D880 Evolutionary Biology (BIO 3040, 3 CUs), D881 Advanced Zoology and Botany with Lab (BIO 3050, 4 CUs, the row's only lab course, with the description stating it builds on General Biology I and II and Evolutionary Biology), and D882 Secondary Biology Curriculum (BIO 3060, 3 CUs), closing the content core before the clinical and student-teaching terms. The same courses run the Biology endorsement program for already-licensed teachers across terms 1 to 3, and D882 carries an identical-description graduate twin, D883, on the M.A. Teaching table, so quote by the code on your audit. All seven have their own completion pages linked below, and singles start at $99.
