This major is ideal for transfer and returning students, and prospective middle/high school science teachers. We also cater to science students who prefer to receive a broad scientific training in diverse disciplines rather than the depth of a single, narrower discipline. It is also an option for students intending to apply to medical schools. The program maintains close ties with both the Teacher Education and Degree Completion programs, and the pre-med advisor.

Students who complete the major will be competently prepared to pursue further academic work in graduate and professional schools in science, medicine/health, business, and other areas, as well as to begin careers in their chosen fields.
