Subject:
B.Sc. General Science Degree ?
Date: March 2, 1995
At its meeting of February 28th, the Faculty of Science approved the attached
revised calendar description for the B.Sc. General Science Degree. It is now being
forwarded to SCUS for consideration and approval.
The key elements of this proposal are:
1.
The B.Sc. General Science degree remains a double minor degree, but the range
of possible minors from which the selection may be made has been significantly
broadened.
2.
Some combinations of minors are prohibited because of the close proximity of the
subject matter.
3.
The lower division requirements for the degree are decreased: lower division
courses in geography, computing and statistics are no longer required.

The General Science Program, which consists of 120 semester hours of
credit, provides the opportunity for a broad general education in several fields of
study with some specialization in at least two fields.
This degree program requires two minor programs, as described in the
calendar. One of these minors must be a Faculty of Science minor program and
the combination of minors is subject to the following restrictions. Only one minor
may be selected from each of the following six groups of subject areas:
Biological Sciences, Environmental Toxicology, Kinesiology
Chemistry, Biochemistry, Environmental Chemistry
Mathematics, Statistics, Computing Science
Physics, Nuclear Science
Earth Science, Physical Geography, Quaternary Studies
Archaeology, Psychology
In addition, because of proximity of subject matter, the following combinations of
minors are not acceptable:
Biosciences - Biochemistry
Biochemistry - Environmental Toxicology
Chemistry -- Nuclear Science
Biochemistry - Kinesiology
Environmental Chemistry -- Environmental Toxicology

accumulate a minimum total of 44 semester hours of upper division credit
?
- A minimum of 12 semester hours in subjects outside the Faculty of Science,
including a minimum of 6 semester hours from the Faculty of Arts
- A grade point average of 2.0 in the upper division courses required for each
of the two subject area minors, and a minimum grade of C- in each course
used for the subject area minors.
Students should consult Departmental advisors regarding the selection of upper
division courses in their subject area minors. Students are encouraged to include
science-related courses such as PHIL 244,341 or HIST 360, 361 in their programs.

The General Science Program, which consists of 120 semester hours of credit, provides the
opportunity for a broad general education in several fields of study with some specialization in at
least two fields.
This degree program requires two Faculty of Science minors in each of two subject areas,
including the lower division prerequisites, chosen from two of the six groupings noted below.
Completion of two minors will require a minimum of 28 semester hours, but some additional credit
hours may be required depending on the stated individual requirements for the minors chosen.
Choose one minor
each from two of the following groups. You may not choose two minors
from the same group.
Biological Sciences, Environmental Toxicology
Biochemistry, Chemistry
Mathematics, Statistics
Physics
Quaternary Studies, Physical Geography
Nuclear Science
