Every student must successfully complete a one-year course with a laboratory in a natural science (8 credits), and 3 additional credits in computer sciences, the natural sciences, or mathematics.
The laboratory science requirement is satisfied by taking a one-year introductory course, with laboratory, offered in the natural sciences area. Students with specific career or major interests in scientific fields should seek academic guidance in choosing laboratory courses. The following courses fulfill the laboratory science requirement:
21:120:101-102 General Biology
21:120:109, 110 Basic Plant Science and Basic Plant Science Laboratory and 21:120:206, 207 General Horticulture and Horticulture Laboratory
21:160:101-102 World of Chemistry and 21:160:109, 110 World of Chemistry Laboratory
21:160:115-116 General Chemistry and 21:160:113-114 General Chemistry Laboratory
21:460:103,104 Planet Earth and Planet Earth Laboratory and
