 The
Department of Natural Sciences
prepares students
- for employment and for graduate
and professional programs with direct
applications in many fields, particularly
botany, zoology, chemistry, conservation,
research, and in the health sciences
through the athletic training program
and the minor in pre-professional studies;
- to teach biology or chemistry
in the secondary school.
Students should add the Pre-professional
Studies minor if they plan to attend any
health sciences professional or post-baccalaureate
program including medicine, dentistry,
pharmacy, physician's assistant, and veterinary
science. This minor is most appropriate
for biology and chemistry majors. This
minor is not available to zoology majors
because these courses are included in
