| If you want a broad background in the sciences, without the depth in any of the sciences required for an individual science major, the General Science major may be for you. It includes courses in biology, chemistry, geology and physics with a concentration in one of these fields. The concentration involves some depth of study, but not to the extent required for a major in the discipline. Some graduates of the program have gone to graduate school in physical therapy as well as in other fields. Major Requirements
MAT 119 Calculus I
MAT 120 Calculus II
