1983-1984 Academic Catalog

The science major is intended exclusively for secondary education students. This major offers a broad exposure to the various areas of science including biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics, and provides basic preparation for teaching these disciplines at the secondary school level. Students desiring greater depth of training in one science area, with the intention of attending graduate school, should plan to major in the science area or areas of their choice.

PREAGRICULTURE The preagriculture curriculum is designed to satisfy the tech– nical/nontechnical requirements of the first two years of a typical agriculture program. Students should research agricultural schools to which they wish to transfer at the junior level so that ap– plication materials can be completed in advance of deadlines. The program includes one year of general requirements and a second year of agricultural science or agricultural business . ..,.,,..,..,;,,.,....,..,,..1111 ·t., for Prc~asi~i(~ul1tm·e Core Requirements 71-114 Biology ........... . 71-151, 71-152 General Chemistry 71-185 Introduction to Analysis . . or 71-281 Analytic Geometry and Calculus hours .4 .8 .5 .5
