Natural Sciences Major

The objective of the major in Natural Sciences is to allow pre-professional students to make their selection of courses based on the requirement of the professional school. A major in Natural Sciences consists of 15 courses in the division of Natural Sciences which meet the educational objectives of the student. Eight of these courses must be numbered 200 or above (courses serving the General Education Program may not be used to satisfy this specific requirement). Five of the required 15 courses must be in one discipline.

No student may elect both a Natural Sciences major and any other major or minor within the Division of Natural Sciences, except that a student with a Natural Sciences major may elect to minor in mathematics or computer science provided the courses used to satisfy the minor do not also count towards the Natural Science major. The program of study is subject to approval of the student's academic adviser and the associate dean.
