The following physical science courses are intended to impact knowledge of the facts and principles which form the foundations of non-living systems. Such studies should promote understanding and appreciation of the methodologies of science as investigative tools, the limitations of scientific endeavors: namely, what is the evidence and how was it derived? In addition, particular attention is given to the influence which the acquisition of scientific knowledge has had on the development of the world’s civilizations, not only as expressed in the past but also in present times.

Note: Under the Fall 2012 GE pattern, students must take a laboratory associated with either their Life Science course or their Physical Science Course. Prior GE patterns require both the Life Science and Physical Science courses to include a laboratory.

Courses in this category may include lecture/laboratory courses or combinations of lecture course and a separate but related laboratory course.

Note: For students under GE patterns prior to Fall 2012, courses in this category may only be used to meet GE Elective requirements.

The following courses have an explicit intermediate algebra prerequisite, and student will develop skills and understanding beyond the level of intermediate algebra. In the course, students will not just practice basic computational skills, but will be able to explain and apply basic mathematical concepts and will be able to solve problems through quantitative reasoning.
