STEM Composite Major

37-53 Credit Hours

Core Courses: 7 credit hours

In addition to the two core courses, take two areas of study from Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics Emphasis Areas.

Note: Students who are Secondary Education and choose to take Mathematics and one of the sciences need to take both EDUC 310F and EDUC 310H (Methods courses for Mathematics and Science).
