General Science (Chemistry Emphasis)
General Science (Biology Emphasis)

The major is structured to prepare students to meet their specific and special needs. It offers a relevant series of courses in biology and other areas as advised for students interested in exploring career possibilities in the biological sciences, allied health professions (physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician assistant, etc.), and non-traditional science careers, e.g. technical writing and sales.

General Science majors must earn at least a grade of "C" or higher in major courses.

BIOL 106 Fundamentals of Cell Biology and CHEM 101 General Chemistry I will fulfill the Natural Science General Education Requirement for science majors.

General Science-Biology Emphasis majors must successfully pass a comprehensive exit examination during the Spring of their senior year and complete a senior thesis.
