If you plan to major in science, we recommend that you select your major early in your college career.

Most science majors require a large number of introductory and prerequisite courses. If you don鈥檛 take certain classes right away, it may take you longer than four years to complete your degree.

For many of the science, health and math majors, we recommend that you complete two semesters or three quarters of calculus before you transfer here.聽 This will help you be prepared for the math required to take many upper level science and major courses.

You don鈥檛 have to complete these core requirements before transferring, but we highly recommend you take equivalent courses whenever possible. Along with general education courses, we recommend you take some of these core course in your intended majors:

  • Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Clinical Lab Sciences, Environmental Sciences, Health Sciences and Neuroscience: a yearlong sequence of general biology, a yearlong sequence of general or analytical chemistry.
  • Actuarial Sciences, Data Science, Mathematics, and Physics*: a yearlong sequence of college calculus.

*A yearlong sequence of university physics is recommended if you're considering majoring in Physics.
