These courses help students understand the quantitative and predictive nature of the natural sciences as well as the nature of the scientific method. In addition, certain courses explore the historical development and the structural nature of the subject. Other courses develop one or more issues of current importance to society and place them in broad scientific, technological, societal and ethical contexts.
Students are required to complete: two lab courses (4 units each) for a total of 8 units, OR one lab course (4 units) and two non-lab courses (3 units each) for a total of 10 units. Courses in italics are honors courses. |
