MyPlan for Broadfield Programs in Arts and Sciences

Broad-Field Social Sciences Program

The broad-field in Social Sciences and Science are intended for students who want a broad perspective over a group of related disciplines with greater depth in one discipline. The programs require from 57 to 66 hours.

The Broadfield Social Sciences Committee administers the program leading to the bachelor's degree with a broadfield major in social sciences. This major, which includes courses in economics, geography, history, political science, and sociology is designed to prepare students with a broad perspective of the Social Science disciplines. This broad-field major, however, may be chosen by students who intend to teach when such broad subject matter preparation meets their particular career needs.

Students selecting this major should consult with an advisor in one of the departments listed.

Broad-Field Science Program

Completion of this program requires from 24 to 32 hours in the major, depending on the fields of emphasis, and 33 to 34 hours distributed equally over three other science fields.

The Broad-field Science program is administered jointly by the departments of Biological and Environmental Sciences, Chemistry and Physics. A student wishing information concerning this program should consult and advisor in one of the science departments involved.

The Broadfield Science Program is designed as a generalist approach to the biological sciences, chemistry, and physics. This broad-field major, however, may be chosen by students who intend to teach when such broad subject matter preparation meets their particular career needs.
