MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCES (26 CREDITS)

The objectives of the mathematics and sciences component of the core curriculum are for students to acquire a foundation of knowledge in mathematics, chemistry, and the biological sciences and physical sciences, an understanding of the scientific method, and the ability to apply their knowledge and problem-solving skills to relevant issues.

To fulfill the biological sciences core requirement, all students must complete at least two hours of laboratory credit in biological sciences each week for 32 weeks, or equivalent. Completion of course sequences is recommended. Courses with an (*) have a laboratory component.
