The mission of the Bachelor of Science in Physical Sciences is to train and mentor students to become skilled scientists who will glorify God and be good stewards of His creation as they serve others in research, education, and industry. Degree Program A Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Science is offered upon completion of the University baccalaureate requirements and the departmental requirements. Learning Outcomes Program Learning Outcomes Upon completion of the Bachelor of Science in Physical Science, students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate an understanding of the foundational principles related to the physical sciences (ULO 1). 2. Demonstrate an ability to solve quantitative and conceptual technical problems related to the physical sciences (ULO 1). 3. Demonstrate safe laboratory technique, proper use of appropriate equipment, and suitable results and data analysis (ULO 1). 4. Obtain and use appropriate literature and resource materials related to the physical sciences (ULO 1). 5. Summarize the key issues in science and faith and recognize the harmony possible while studying God's creation (ULO 1, 2, and 3). Each Program Learning Outcome (PLO) listed above references at least one of the University Learning Outcomes (ULO 1, 2, 3), which may be found in the General Information (p. 5) section of this catalog. Requirements GPA Requirement To continue in the program a student is required to have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher in their first year of chemistry, physics and/or
