Helpful Hints

  • You may need additional math, reading, or writing courses before starting the core courses in this program. Take your assessment tests ASAP to see where you land
  • Science degrees are intense; expect to take a math course, a chemistry course, and either a biology or a physics course every semester in addition to your general education courses
  • Finishing this degree in 2-3 years generally requires taking 15-18 credits per semester, and may require summer or intersession courses
  • Depending on your chosen concentration, your electives may need to fulfill the Core Academic Skills. Talk to an advisor early!
