OBJECTIVES The physical science major is an inter­ disciplinary major designed to provide the student with a solid foundation in chem­ istry, physics and mathematics. The pro­ gram offers fours emphases. As well as providing the necessary prerequisites for professional programs such as engi neering, medicine and education, the major allows one to qualify for many graduate programs related to the physical sciences. The knowl­ edge and skills provided in the program makes the graduate much sought after by technically orientated business, industry and government agencies. Upon completion of the physical science major, the student will be able to express an understanding of the basic laws and theo­ ries of physics and chemistry, demonstrate an ability to do quantitative problem solv­ ing, demonstrate good laboratory tech­ nique, acquire several technical skills, apply scientific methodology to a research prob­ lem and integrate scientific knowledge and theories with the Christian Faith. DEGREE PROGRAM A BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE IN PHYSICAL SCIENCE is offered upon completion of the university baccalaureate requirements and the physical science departmental require­ ments in one of the following emphases.
