Natural Science, B.S.The Bachelor of Science Degree in Natural Science is designed primarily to prepare students to teach science at the middle or high school level. Two options are available: Traditional (Option I) and Blended (Option II). Both options satisfy the subject matter requirement for a California Single Subject Teaching Credential in Science. Students select one of the following four areas of subject matter emphasis: biology, chemistry, geoscience, or physics. Total units for the degree depend on option and emphasis area. Option 1: 185 for Biology, 184 for Chemistry, 184 for Geoscience, and 185 for Physics. Option II: 203 for Biology, 202 for Chemistry, 201 for Geoscience, and 202 for Physics. High school preparation is recommended in algebra (two years), chemistry, geometry, physics, and trigonometry. In both options students must earn a grade of C or higher in all courses that satisfy the following university, general education or major requirements. See Option II for additional GPA requirements. Students should speak with a Natural Science adviser before choosing an option. The total number of units required for the Bachelor of Science degree in Natural Science, Traditional Option is 184-185 units, of which 118-119 units are in the major depending on the emphasis selected. Consult with an advisor for the specific number of units required in all areas of the degree including GE and free electives. The total number of units required for the Bachelor of Science degree in Natural Science, Blended Option is 201-203 units, of which 135-137 units are in the major depending on the emphasis selected. Consult with an advisor for the specific number of units required in all areas of the degree including GE and free electives. |
