A minimum of three units in math and three units in science is required. Biology 100 with 110 and Physical Science 101 with 102 have both been designed for the student with a limited background in science. Biology 252 Human Anatomy and 281 Physiology are for nursing, human biology and physical education majors only. Chemistry 112 is for nursing majors. While the general education requirement will normally be met from the courses specified in the catalog, in exceptional cases where students have the appropriate prerequisites and where the department in which the course is taught determines that the intentions of the general education requirement would be satisfied, students may request permission to substitute an upper division class for the lower division course specified in the catalog.
Students are to secure written approval for such a substitution prior to taking the class.
Once each semester the university presents a lecture designed to expose students to an aspect of their Christian heritage in an attractive way that will help them choose to make it part of their life long learning. All undergraduate students taking 12 or more units are required to attend these lectures. Normally a student has considerable freedom in the choice of electives in addition to the biblical studies and theology, general education and major requirements.
