Objectives: The Physical Science major is designed to give a student some breadth in the physical sciences. Within the major a student may emphasize biochemistry, 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 Mathematics. Biochemistry emphasis, course requirements: (Pre-med recommendation) Chemistry: 105,106,301,302,402,411,412
