Natural Sciences & Technology

summer 2005

If you entered college as a freshman in Fall 1994 or later, you need to complete six hours of Natural Sciences and Technology courses in order to graduate.

Natural Sciences and Technology courses are placed into one of the following two subcategories: Life Sciences and Physical Sciences.

Effective for entering freshmen in Fall 2004, all courses on this list are approved for General Education credit on a campus wide basis. However individual Colleges or curricula may require specific courses or course categories. Students should consult their advisors about selecting the general education courses which best fit their programs of study.

Courses are added as they are approved.
