Through the course work in this minor students explore the effect of science in their daily lives and develop an understanding of the multiple ways that science is integrated into different, nonscience disciplines. As a prerequisite to the minor, students should have completed their general education science requirement of 7 to 8 credits.

Students start with NCLC 215, which provides them with a broad overview of related topics and helps them to develop their individualized core of courses. They end with a capstone NCLC 415, in which they demonstrate what they have learned through their course of study.

This program of study is an interdisciplinary minor offered by New Century College .

For policies governing all minors, see the Academic Policies  chapter of this catalog.

Course Work
