The General Science Program is for students interested in pursuing a biology degree. The program provides courses that allow exploration of diverse professional science careers and possible undergraduate majors to support those careers. General Science Program students are advised about appropriate course selection that will help them successfully matriculate into biology and other majors. Students in the General Science Program will be evaluated after successful completion of 30 credits at NSU, and are required to successfully complete SCIE 1000, BIOL 1100, MATH 1040 (and prerequisite), and COMP 1000. Students may place into higher-level MATH, COMP, and BIOL courses. Students who have successfully completed this coursework, earned 30 credits at NSU, and maintained a cumulative GPA of 2.75 or higher may matriculate into the biology major. Students who have not met these criteria may remain in the General Science Program only until a total of 60 credits have been earned toward a bachelor’s degree (including non-NSU credits). At that time, students must select an alternative degree-granting major. Students may also transfer at any time, with the assistance of their academic advisor, into degree-granting majors other than biology. |
