Goals

Discoveries in the natural sciences are playing a pivotal role in advancing human knowledge and understanding of the world where we live. The basic natural sciences of Biology and Chemistry form the foundations of our modern society’s institutions, and are thus an integral part of our daily lives. Application of the natural scientific principles, products, and operations to the human condition has profoundly benefited humanity. The academic minor in natural sciences is designed to provide the non-science major with a fundamental understanding of how these sciences work and affect their daily lives, from the workings of medicine and biotechnology, chemistry of food and forensics, to the landing of space craft on distant planets.
