Degree Sheet Components:

Each degree sheet includes the following:

• Common Core: The Common Core consists of general education courses which are designed to develop the essential skills needed for all learning, provide a common core of knowledge for the intellectual life of the University, and set a context of meaning and value for the student’s specialized study in the area of concentration or major field.
• Flex Core: The Flex Core consists of a minimum of 12 hours chosen to strengthen the Common Core but also to provide flexibility to serve specific needs of the various degrees.

College of Science and Mathematics

The James E. Hurley College of Science and Mathematics is composed of four departments: biology, chemistry, mathematics, and natural science and physics. Degree programs offered within these departments prepare students for direct entry into a wide variety of careers. Many students also study in these disciplines as undergraduate liberal arts preparation for further graduate study in differing professions.
