Area D: Natural Sciences and Mathematics (for Majors other than Natural Science or Nursing)
10 Hours
Note: The Area D listed here is the 10-hour version for students NOT majoring in the sciences or health sciences. (See listing for science majors below) Students taking 10 hours in Area D must take 2 hours in Area B2. Most students majoring in non-science majors will choose this version of Area D. (Non-science majors may choose to take an 8-hour sequence in the principles courses designed for science majors. Mathematics and computer science majors are required to take an 8-hour sequence in the principles courses designed for science majors. See below.)
D1. Take ONE of the following science sequences
- SCI 1111 Integrated Science I (3-0-3)
SCI 1111L Integrated Science I Laboratory (0-2-1)
(SCI 1111 and 1111L are corequisite.)
SCI 1112 Integrated Science II (3-0-3) - BIOL 1111 Introductory Biology I
(3-0-3)
BIOL 1111L Introductory Biology Laboratory (0-2-1)
(BIOL 1111 and 1111L are corequisite.)
BIOL 1112 Introductory Biology II (3-0-3) - CHEM 1151 Survey of Chemistry I
(3-0-3)
CHEM 1151L Survey of Chemistry Laboratory (0-2-1)
(CHEM 1151 and 1151L are corequisite.)
CHEM 1152 Survey of Chemistry II (3-0-3)
(CHEM 1152 has a lab, but it is only required for certain health science majors.) - PHYS 1111 Introductory Physics I
(3-0-3)
PHYS 1111L Introductory Physics Laboratory (0-2-1)
(PHYS 1111 and 1111L are corequisite, and MATH 1101 or higher is prerequisite.)
PHYS 1112 Introductory Physics II (3-0-3)
(PHYS 1112 has a lab, but it is only required for certain life science majors.)
D2. Additional Science, Math or Technology (3 hours)
MATH 1231 Introductory Statistics (3-0-3)*
MATH 1241 Survey of Calculus (3-0-3)*
MATH 1113 Precalculus (3-0-3)*
MATH 1501 Calculus I (4-0-4)**
MATH 2502 Calculus II (4-0-4)**
CPTG 1111 Introduction to Computing (1-2-2)#
CPTG 1010 Computing with Spreadsheets (0-2-1)#
CSCI 1301 Computer Science I (3-0-3)
SCI 1901 Selected Topics in Science (3-0-3)
(See the schedule of classes for specific topics including Astronomy, Botany, Extraordinary Chemistry, Health and Disease, Energy, Forensic Science, Sex and Gender, and Human Genetics .)
* MATH 1101 or higher (or equivalent placement score) is prerequisite.
** MATH 1113 is prerequisite to MATH 1501, which is, in turn, prerequisite to MATH 2502. The extra hour will be excess credit. Only three hours apply to Area D, but some majors may apply the extra hour to Area F.
# Both CPTG 1111 and 1010 must be taken to count in Area D.

11 Hours
NOTE:This version of Area D applies to the fields listed here. Students should make their Area D choices in conjunction with area requirements: Agriculture/Environmental Sciences
Biology
Chemistry
Engineering
Forestry
Geology
Pharmacy
Physics
D1. Laboratory Science (Choose TWO courses; a sequence is not required.)
BIOL 1107/1107L Principles of Biology I (3-0-3)/(0-3-1)
BIOL 1108/1108L Principles of Biology II (3-0-3)/(0-3-1)
CHEM 1211/1211L Principles of Chemistry I (3-0-3)/(0-3-1)
CHEM 1212/1212L Principles of Chemistry II (3-0-3)/(0-3-1)
PHYS 2211/2211L Principles of Physics I (3-0-3)/(0-3-1)*
PHYS 2212/2212L Principles of Physics II (3-0-3)/(0-3-1)*
*Most life science majors allow the Introductory Physics sequence (1111/1111L – 1112/1112L) in their Area F requirements.
D2. Additional Science, Math or Technology
(3 Hours)
MATH 1231 Introductory Statistics (3-0-3)
MATH 1241 Survey of Calculus (3-0-3)
MATH 1113 Precalculus (3-0-3)
MATH 1501 Calculus I (4-0-4)*
MATH 2502 Calculus II (4-0-4)*
CPTG 1111 Introduction to Computing (1-2-2)**
CPTG 1010 Computing with Spreadsheets (1-0-1) **
CSCI 1301 Computer Science I (3-0-3)
SCI 1901 Selected Topics in Science (3-0-3)
(See the schedule of classes for specific topics including Astronomy, Botany, Extraordinary Chemistry, Health and Disease, Energy , Forensic Science, Sex and Gender, and Human Genetics.)
* Qualified students whose majors do not require calculus may elect to take MATH 1501 or MATH 2502, but the extra one hour of credit will not normally count toward the minimum needed for graduation.
** Both CPTG 1010 and CPTG 1111 must be taken if used in Area D.
