 Return to: Academic Departments and Programs
The General Science Major provides a solid grounding in the physical and biological sciences. While some of our General Science graduates have found work as laboratory technicians or have gone on to graduate school, this program is most appropriate for, and normally is recommended only to, those who are planning to teach at the K-8 level. Students in this major may choose either of two tracks, the first designed for those interested in teaching at the elementary school level, and the second intended for those interested in teaching general science at the middle school level. Students should choose the specific coursework sequence appropriate for the license they are planning to pursue.
