Science and Management Major
|
|
This program is designed to provide students with a solid background in science, economics, and fundamental managerial skills. A major in Science and Management requires a minimum of 20 courses including a thesis in addition to the college’s general-education requirements (some of the Core Program will overlap). Majors complete a core program of a minimum of fifteen courses in addition to a five-course sequence. Some major requirements may be waived due to placement. Students may also construct their own sequence in consultation with the Science and Management advisor.
