College of Arts and Sciences

Bachelor of Science

The bachelor of science degree is designed to provide students with a more intensive approach to the core technical questions of their majors. This curriculum therefore has a reduced number of courses in humanities and social sciences in comparison with the bachelor of arts degree to allow students to achieve greater depth in their majors. Students pursuing a bachelor of science degree in CAS must complete the university-wide general education program plus one additional credit of natural science (for a total of 8 credits), which must be fulfilled by an approved two-semester laboratory science sequence in a single science. (This may not be fulfilled by BIOL 124 and 125 or by EVSC 205 and 206.)

Requirements for each major are listed in the departmental sections that follow.
