Studying the Physical and Natural World.
The science major 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.
