General Studies Patterns II/III - Natural Sciences or Mathematics Emphasis, Associate in Arts
General Studies Patterns II/III - Natural Sciences or Mathematics Emphasis, Associate in Arts
The courses that fulfill the Natural Sciences or Mathematics area of emphasis will examine the physical universe, its life forms and the measurement of natural phenomena. The courses are designed to develop students’ appreciation and understanding of the scientific method, along with mathematical evaluation, and to encourage an understanding of the relationships between science/mathematics and other human activities. This emphasis enables the student to take courses that will satisfy lower division major preparation requirements for areas including but not limited to Allied Health, Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Geological Sciences, Geography, Health Sciences, Mathematics, Nursing, Physics, and related disciplines.
