The Chemical and Physical Sciences Department offers a General Science minor for students eager to expand their scientific knowledge. This minor requires students to take introductory courses in four essential areas: biology, chemistry, earth and space sciences, and physics. At least three of these courses will include a lab component, giving students valuable hands-on experience.
Additionally, students will need to complete a fifth course, which can be either another introductory class or a more advanced option in one of the disciplines. To help tailor their education, students are encouraged to meet with faculty advisors who can guide them in choosing the right courses.
This General Science minor is flexible, making it a great fit for students from various academic backgrounds, including those in Liberal Studies and other majors. By exploring different scientific fields, students gain a well-rounded education that prepares them for a range of future opportunities.
