Before you get too excited about this, you'd have to know the _average
grade_ in education courses at the institution.  Around here they run about
an A-, so a higher required GPA loses some of it's apparent strength.  As
with (apparently) most institutions, the sciences here run near or at the
bottom of the average grades in departments.
