Bachelor of Science (B.S.)

Students who select a Natural Science major from the College of Arts and Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics) and students who select certain Social Science majors (Education, Exercise Science, Psychology Sociology) have the option of completing a B.S. degree.

These credits must include at least one laboratory science course and come from no more than two departments outside the major department. Students may select credits from Biology, Chemistry, Mathematic/Computer Science and Physics. Credits earned in MA 100 and MA 106 count toward graduation but do not count in the science distribution requirement of the B.S. degree.
