Bachelor of Science

A bachelor of science (B.S.) degree generally provides for in-depth study within a major discipline, or may integrate knowledge from more than one discipline, and includes a foundational liberal arts education. The B.S. degree involves additional supporting technical or professional coursework with the outcomes of students effectively communicating, engaging with relevant metaphysical issues, attaining in-depth knowledge of a chosen discipline and incorporating expertise from related disciplines which typically lead to a specific or professional career path. These outcomes are accomplished through completing the following requirements:

• 6 credit hours in a relevant field outside the major (specific courses that fulfill this requirement are identified by each B.S. degree program)
• 3 credit hours for the Effective Communication requirement, fulfilled by CST 107, CST 327, CST 332, ENG 107, or ENG 311.
• 3 credit hours for the Commitment and Consciousness requirement. Generally, this requirement is fulfilled by those upper-division courses designated for the Exploration level in the University Core Curriculum and addressing either the Commitment to Diversity, Inclusion, and the Common Good habit or the Global and Historical Consciousness habit.
