Science courses are designed for students desiring scientific
knowledge and insight but are either majoring in non-scientific
subjects or have limited science backgrounds. Enrollment in
Science coursed may serve as an introduction to further study
in the sciences, to fulfill general requirements, or to fill
specific requirements of the elementary education major.
