Natural Science Major

Natural Science

The B.S. degree in Natural Science is designed for students seeking a broad exposure to biological, chemical and physical sciences. Course selection to meet specific educational goals is made in consultation with students’ academic advisors. The requirements for natural science majors allow optimal flexibility in the selection of science courses.

Natural Science Major Requirements

The following courses are required for a B.S. degree in Natural Science:

CHEM 111-112          General Chemistry I & II

BIOL 111-112            General Biology I & II

PHYS 201 or 211      General or University Physics I

MATH 201 or             Calculus with Analytic Geometry I

MATH 112 & 113       College Algebra & Trigonometry

CHEM 356                  Intro to Senior Seminar

CHEM 357                 Senior Seminar

In addition to the above, 24 semester hours in Chemistry, Biology and/or Physics at the 200 level or above are required. At least seven of these 24 semester hours must be at the 300 level.

The student and advisor select a program of science studies, which meets the above minimum requirements and satisfies student's educational objectives.

Because of the highly individual nature of this major, it is not possible to show a typical course of study for the four-year degree completion of the natural science major track.
