Chemistry, mathematics and the General Education requirements are foundational and often prerequisite or corequisite to other courses. Additionally, some of the courses are offered in alternating years and there may be special opportunities for a class with an agency like AuSable Institute. The student is also strongly encouraged to be in conference with the science advisor in the choice of elective courses that can strengthen the educational experience. All these factors emphasize the importance of close student - science advisor communication for successful completion of this major. Actual course work will be based on the student s background that demonstrates current scientific literacy in the areas of Biology, Chemistry, and Economics.
Demonstration is by previous course work, life experience learning, or testing.
