Natural science electives may be selected from any courses offered by the biology, chemistry and physics departments. Science electives may be taken in only one discipline (e.g., they may all be in biology) or they may be taken in two or more disciplines (e.g., one in biology, one in chemistry and one in physics). Three credits of this requirement may be fulfilled with a MTH, CSC, or MIS course. The needs of each student will determine the exact distribution of electives in the natural sciences.
