A. Physical Sciences 1. Physical and biological sciences concentrators and students preparing for the health professions must complete one of the following sequences. These sequences are designed for students who do not plan to concentrate in the physical or biological sciences. Physical Sciences 134-135. These sequences are designed to provide non-science concentrators with an understanding of current knowledge and methods in the biological sciences and to give concentrators sufficient background for continued study in the discipline.
All sequences provide a strong foundation in the basic concepts of the biological sciences.
See the Biological Sciences section of this catalog for more information on the approved sequences. Only courses beyond the level of precalculus may be used to fulfill the mathematical sciences requirement. All precalculus courses together will be counted as only one elective credit. The courses listed below are designed to develop the powers of formal reasoning through use of precise artificial languages as found in mathematics, computer science, statistics, or formal logic. These courses present broadly applicable techniques for formulating, analyzing, and solving problems, and for evaluating proposed solutions.
