Notes:
- For an explanation of why General Education courses are included in this Program, please refer to the Section on General Education for an explanation of its Purpose and Requirements.
- This plan assumes the student is eligible to enroll in College Level Courses (designated as 100 +, e.g., ENG 101 College Composition I, HST 101 World Civilization I, MTH 100 Intro. to College Mathematics). Placement results will determine College Level Readiness in English and Mathematics.
- No Grade of "D" is acceptable in MTH or Science courses
Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to:
- Utilize critical thinking and problem-solving skills, including the scientific method and methods of scientific conversion;
- Demonstrate mastery of fundamental concepts of biology, chemistry, and/or physics; and
- Perform scientific investigations using proper scientific and laboratory safety protocols.
