What is the life and physical sciences requirement?

Courses that satisfy the life and physical sciences gen ed requirement must include at least half of the following learning goals:

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

Explain how scientific explanations are formulated, tested, and modified or validated
Distinguish between scientific and non-scientific evidence and explanations
Apply foundational knowledge and discipline-specific concepts to address issues or solve problems
Apply basic observational, quantitative, or technological methods to gather data and generate evidence-based conclusions
Use current models and theories to describe, explain, or predict natural phenomena
Locate reliable sources of scientific evidence to construct arguments related to real-world issues

How do I complete this requirement?

Students must have 6 credit hours in life and physical sciences courses.
