The natural sciences major is an interdepartmental science program that leads to the Bachelor of Arts degree. It is intended to serve students whose interests and objectives call for a major in the humanities or social sciences that is accompanied by broad background in the natural sciences; e.g. history and philosophy of science and technology.
Natural sciences may be taken only as a second major. The student also must declare and complete a major in one of the humanities or social sciences, except for the program in gerontological studies.
The program requires a minimum of 50 semester hours of work in natural sciences and mathematics. The departments included in the major are astronomy, biology, chemistry, geological sciences, and physics. The student must complete a minimum of 20 hours in one of the departments, a minimum of 8 hours each in two other of these departments, and 3 hours each in the remaining two departments. In addition, all natural sciences majors must complete MATH 125 and 126 or higher-level courses in mathematics. The courses selected in each of these departments also must satisfy major or related course requirements for one or more of these departments.
A minor is achieved through completion of the requirements specified below for any four of the five departments listed.
BIOL 110 and 220, and one of the following courses: BIOL 111, 221.
Completion of one of the following sequences:
