Department of Physical Sciences Professor: Kurtz (chairman), Stephens Associate Professor: Rynd PHYSICAL SCI ENCES All laboratory courses in physical sciences have a $15 .00 laboratory fee. Objectives: The Physical Science major is designed to give a student some breadth in the physical sciences. Within the major a student may emphasize biochemi stry, chemistry, or physics. The major serves as preparation for teaching chemistry or physics in secondary schools and as pre-professional training for the medical or technical fields. Department major: One of three areas may be emphasized. These are: biochemistry, chemistry , or physics. Physical Science majors are exempt from the general education re quirement of eight units of Science and/or Mathematical Sciences. Biochemistry emphasis, course requirements: (Pre-med recommendation)
