The Natural
Sciences minor provides non-science majors with an opportunity to
acquire a broad base of knowledge in the basic scientific disciplines of
biology, chemistry, and physics. The minor consists of the
introductory course sequences for Biology, Inorganic and Organic
Chemistry, and Physics. Through this selection of courses, students
will be introduced to the fundamental processes that shape and regulate
the world around us; including the physical, chemical, and biological
aspects of nature. This minor is ideal for preparation of a non-science
major to apply to a professional school for an advanced degree in a
health-professions area such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary science,
etc.
