Liberal Arts: Science Exploration
The Science Exploration emphasis offers study in the sciences and is intended for students who wish to explore multiple scientific fields, but do not wish to be science majors. This may be appropriate for a student that wishes to augment their studies in another field, such as recreation or education, with a better understanding of the sciences. Students who might wish to pursue a science degree following transfer to a four-year institution should be sure to ascend through the college level math courses because most bachelor’s degrees in science require at least one semester of calculus. Students who already have a defined science transfer goal should NOT choose this major, but instead, consider the Liberal Arts: Science degree or one
