The College of Engineering, Mathematics, and Science administers an interdepartmental broad field science major and a natural science major.

Broad Field Science Comprehensive Major

The Broad Field Science Comprehensive major (along with an early adolescence-adolescence education major) is designed to prepare students for early adolescence - adolescence certification in broad field science and upper-level certification in the areas of concentration.

The requirements for an interdepartmental broad field science major include:
  1. A foundation of required courses from each of the four science areas: (39-40 credits)

    Biology Chemistry Earth and Space Science Physics
  2. Approved concentrations from two of the science areas or a minor in one area: (14-24 credits)

    Biology Chemistry Earth and Space Science Physics
  3. One of the following mathematics sequences (6-9 credits): MATH 2530 Trigonometry and Analytical Geometry or MATH 2450 Precalculus, and MATH 1830 Statistics or MATH 2640 Calculus and Analytic Geometry I.

  4. Demonstrate proficiency with microcomputer applications.

Natural Science Minor



The Natural Science Minor is only available to B-11 or middle level education majors.
  1. A minimum of one course (or lecture and lab combination) from each of the following areas:

    *Must be selected if this science area is chosen to satisfy the two-semester concentration specified in part 2.

  2. A two-semester concentration is required in one science area.
