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.
