Select one of the one-year sequences.

Knowledge of the sciences encourages understanding of nature. Through scientific investigation, we can experience and respond to the scale, complexity, interrelatedness, and beauty of the natural world. Such investigation can also help us interpret and understand human experience.

*Note: Certain majors require a specific science sequence as a prerequisite. Students unsure of which science sequence is appropriate for their needs should consult their advisor.
