Curriculum charts expressing specific major and college course requirements, and sample schedules for each of the above-mentioned major programs , may be obtained in the departmental office , Science Hall - room 200. All laboratory courses in biological science have a $15 laboratory fee. VOCATIONAL SCOPE The Biological Science major is intended to have strength in the foundations of mathe matics , physics, and chemistry . Breadth in the major areas of biology is included in the core curriculum to serve as a base for advanced or more specialized study . The scope of the core curriculum emphasizes the principles of biology in all forms of life . The Biologi cal Science major is intended to prepare students for the following: (I) further study in the health related fields (medicine , dentistry , medical technology , physical therapy, veterinary medicine , pharmacy) , (2) further study in the teaching fields (college, nursing, health sciences) , (3) graduate study in general biology or a specific area within biology (zoology , botany, microbiology, et cetera), (4) terminal study in primary or secondary education , and (5) biology applied to agriculture, business , missions.
