Natural Sciences and Mathematics Division


Return to: College of Arts and Sciences 

The Natural Sciences and Mathematics Division encompasses the investigation of natural phenomena, including the development of predictive explanatory systems, and includes the study of numerical and other abstract structures and relations. These are central concerns of the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences (Geology), Physics, and Mathematics. Hence most courses satisfying the Natural Sciences and Mathematics Division requirements come from these departments.

The Natural Sciences and Mathematics List

Students must take at least four courses from this list, including a 2-course sequence (indicated by hyphens) and a course with a laboratory (indicated by course numbers in bold print) to complete the requirement for four courses in this division. No more than three courses may be taken from a single department or program (even if the courses of the department or program are in more than one division).

Astronomy


Chemistry


Cognitive Science


  • COG courses may be accepted by petition.

Earth Sciences


Notes:


Prospective Earth Science majors are strongly encouraged to take the EAR 110  - EAR 210  sequence.

Courses can be taken in any order except EAR 210  which requires a prerequisite of either EAR 110  or EAR 203  or both EAR 105  and EAR 104 .

ANY EAR course will count toward the divisional requirement of four courses in the natural sciences and mathematics. Credit is given for EAR 110  (formerly EAR 101) or EAR 105 , but not for both.

Mathematics


Physics


Science Teaching


  • All SCI courses.

Science, Technology, and Society


  • STS course may be accepted by petition.
