College academic distribution requirements: Science

If taken in high school:

Two credits of science are required. Applicants must complete one full year (both semesters in the same field) of the basic principles of biology, chemistry or physics, with a laboratory experience. The second year of science may be completed in any course that satisfies your high school's graduation requirement in science.

Two credits of agricultural science are equivalent to one credit of science.

If made up through college coursework:

College science courses taken with a lab will count toward the laboratory science portion of the requirement. Any course in astronomy, atmospheric science, biological structure, biology, botany, chemistry, environmental science (but not environmental studies), genetics, geology, oceanography, physical anthropology, physical geography, physics or zoology will count toward the second-year requirement, as will introductory courses in biological or physical science.
