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.

Physical Sciences

Welcome to the Physical Science Department at Santa Monica College! Our mission is to give our students the best possible preparation in chemistry and physics, enabling them to transfer seamlessly to four-year institutions. Towards that end, we employ a highly dedicated and knowledgable faculty supported by an excellent technical staff. The departmental facilities are state of the art and include such instrumentation as FT-NMR and FT-IR spectrometers. Join us at what we think is the best Physical Science Department at the best Community College in the country!

Exercise Science (EXSC)
The Exercise Science program prepares students for entry-level master degree programs in physical therapy. An interdisciplinary approach is applied to this major, including classes in:
Nutrition
Psychology
Biology
Physics
Chemistry
Athletic Training
The courses meet or exceed the prerequisites for the majority of physical therapy schools. Students are encouraged to volunteer service in all aspects of physical therapy before and during their undergraduate studies. Academic advisers monitor student progress to maximize acceptance in physical therapy schools.

General Science Overview

Students wishing a broad overview of natural science and mathematics may choose to complete a General Science major. Such students must have their course plans and graduation check sheets approved by the chair of the Division of Natural Science and Mathematics.

Requirements for Major or Minor

For a major: At least 48 credits chosen from the four departments(Biology excluding courses numbered 109 or lower, Chemistry,Mathematics, Physics) and distributed as follows: no fewer than 25credits in one department, composed of the course requirements fora minor in that department and additional credits in courses that count toward a major or minor in that department; no fewer than nine credits in each of two of the remaining departments; and no fewer than five credits in the fourth department. Courses which may apply toward the General Science major are noted in the respective departments. The major’s writing intensive course must be one listed as MWI for the department in which the 25-credit concentration is taken or one that has been pre-approved by the department chair.

For Oregon Initial Teaching Licensure in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, or Physics, a student must complete the Linfield Teacher Education Program and the State of Oregon licensure requirements (see pages 57 and 58 of the print catalog). In order to complete these requirements, a student must begin taking education courses no later then his/her sophomore year. The student must be advised by an Education Department faculty member each semester prior to registration.
