General Science at Grenfell
Remember high school science? Eviscerating frogs, blowing up test tubes and setting Bunsen burners ablaze?
Remember math and physics? Puzzling algorithms, and the hair-raising thrills of electromagnetics?
Biology. Chemistry. Earth Systems. Mathematics. Physics. So many choices.
At Grenfell College you can have it all.
As a graduate, you will find your degree useful as a foundation for a bachelor of education. In addition, upon completing this undergraduate degree you can use it as a springboard into professions such as law, dentistry, medicine, journalism or library science.

Program Requirements
Major
Students completing the Major in General Science will complete a General Science Core. In addition, they will complete a minimum of 24 credit hours (or 18 credit hours in the case of Mathematics) in each of three streams chosen from Biology, Chemistry, Earth Systems, Mathematics or Physics. The allowable courses that can be chosen from each stream are listed below.
1. General Science Core
Students must complete:
Course Requirements:
Mathematics 1000, 1001, Science 4000 (General Science Seminar)
Independent Project:
Science 4950
2. General Science Streams
Students must complete at least 24 credit hours in each of three streams (18
credit hours in Mathematics), chosen from
General science courses introduce students to their physical environment
and its scientific exploration; specific topics examined in these
courses include geology, astronomy, oceanography and meteorology.
These courses are designed to: provide an interdisciplinary
overview, introduce fundamental scientific concepts, demonstrate
scientific inquiry, illustrate how hazards and resources related to
these topics impact society, and increase the student’s appreciation
of their world. These courses are appropriate for students with a
limited science and math background. Work in the general sciences
is an important part of many college programs.
All general science courses include a lab component and are on
the PCC General Education Course List. General science courses
can be taken individually or in
This concentration area is open only to graduate students who have an undergraduate minor or its equivalent (18 semester hours) in the field of general science. Graduate students may not enroll in a 5000-numbered course if it duplicates the same course listed on an undergraduate transcript. At least three courses must be taken at the 6000 level.
An 18-semester-hour plan of study in general science must be developed by the student and the general science adviser and pre-approved by the dean of the College of Education or the dean’s designee. The general science adviser will determine if any prerequisite coursework
f you enjoy science and math and want to pursue a science-related career, general science may be the right major for you. Because it is broader than most undergraduate degree programs, the general science curriculum enables students to develop skills that relate to a wider variety of topics, ideas, and experiences. The program is multi-disciplinary —it requires a basic mastery of several sciences beyond the introductory level—and quite flexible, so that general science majors can tailor their academic program to meet specific goals.
By becoming familiar with a broad range of disciplines, a wide range of possibilities are open to you
Associate of Arts(AS 0090) degree and Associate of Science (AA 0091) degree provide the first two years of general studies for baccalaureate degrees. Students should consult an advisor to tailor the transfer degrees to the desired Bachelor’s degree for a specific college/university. Courses within each section may expand to all ow more options to the student. For an up to date listing of classes, please consult the Illinois Articulation Initiative website at www.itransfer.org.
General requirements for graduation with either an Associate of Arts (AA) Degree or an Associate of Science (AS) Degree include:
Successful completion of sixty-four (64) hours of college
The Bachelor of Applied Science degree at Saint Leo University is available only for students with Associate of Science (A.S.) or Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degrees in a science or technical field, not for students with A.S. or A.A.S. degrees in a major for which the university offers a B.A. or B.S. degree program.
Graduates from this program will not only have applied skills but also a liberal arts education and the business leadership skills to gain promotion or become managers in the workplace or military.
The B.A.S. degree requires that the holder of the A.S. or A.A.S. degree have in
