Natural Sciences:
Students should successfully complete a minimum of six (6) semester hours of approved course work in the natural sciences. Ideally, all students should have at least one science course with a laboratory. Courses in the natural sciences shall give students an understanding of the nature of science through broad exposure to physical, biological, earth, or applied sciences.  Courses will enable students through observation or experimentation to draw conclusions about the world using the scientific method.

The learning outcome goals for Natural Sciences include:

• Students will demonstrate an appreciation and understanding of the scientific method of inquiry
• Students will demonstrate knowledge of the evidence, ideas, and models that scientists use to make judgments about the natural world.
• Students will demonstrate how the ideas and models of the natural sciences relate to societal issues, including ethics.
