Notations

It is highly recommended that students take SCI 107 early in their coursework.
A minimum of two credits is required for SCI 250 . However, in consultation with faculty, a research project for up to 6 credits may be chosen.
PHY 101 , PHY 111 , and PHY 211 may transfer as Physics or Science credit only, depending on the institution.
PHY 101 is not recommended for students who wish to take PHY 112 or PHY 212 . Students wishing to take PHY 112 should enroll in PHY 111 . Students wishing to take PHY 212 should enroll in PHY 211 .
Humanities courses must be completed in at least two different subject areas. Consult Graduation Requirements for a list of approved Humanities courses.
SCI 250 - Research Project In Science is offered on a continual basis through individual instruction with Chemistry faculty mentors.
You may be eligible for the MTA certificate. Consult the current catalog for requirements.
To have MTA placed on your transcript, fill out a MTA Request Form at the Records Office with the Graduation Request.
