Undergraduate Majors
The College offers both Bachelor of Science (BS) and Bachelor of Arts (BA) degrees.
- The BS requires more science and mathematics credits and less non-science, humanities and social science coursework in the 120 credit program. The BS is intended for individuals preparing for professional work in the sciences or for graduate/professional school.
- The BA is designed for individuals pursuing K-12 teaching careers or scientific application areas such as public policy, technical sales, law, and communications. The BA requires more humanities and social science credits, thus providing greater balance between science and non-science credits in the 120 credit program.
