The Science program enables students to participate in quantitative and scientific decisions that influence the quality of contemporary life. The major requires students to take courses in biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics to insure a breadth of exposure, while at the same time requiring a concentration in one of these areas at the upper-division level. Among other careers, the Science major is especially suited for secondary education majors interested in teaching science, careers in technical communication and allied health professionals seeking additional strength in science. A minor is required.

General Education Requirements:


  • One course in art, music, performance, or aesthetics
  • One course in English or a foreign language
  • Philosophy
  • One elective chosen from the arts, aesthetics, foreign language, humanities, philosophy, or religion
  • One course in American history or government
  • Two electives, representing different disciplines, and chose from economics, geography, history, political science, psychology, or sociology
  • Three courses selected from disciplines within the College of Arts and Sciences.

Required Courses:


To ensure that they acquire a solid background in the sciences, students must complete one four-credit course each from biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. In addition, the student must satisfactorily complete six* upper division courses from biology, chemistry, environmental science, mathematics, physics or science.

Please Note:


*Four (4) of these upper division courses must come from the same discipline to form an area of concentration.
