Students must complete one of the following options:
1. a one-year, 8-credit science course with laboratory or
2. three courses in nonlaboratory science, mathematics, or computer
science. At least two of the three courses in the second option must be
science courses offered by the Departments of Biological Sciences,
Geological Sciences, Chemistry, or Physics.
The nonlaboratory
course may be selected from the sciences or from courses offered by the
Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. If a mathematics course
is chosen, it must be at a higher level than the one taken to fulfill
the mathematics proficiency requirement.
