Scientific Inquiry (SI) Requirement
(Required for catalog years prior to 2011-12)
If you are working on a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree you will need to complete two or more courses totaling a minimum of six (6) credit hours over and above general education requirements that emphasize scientific inquiry through either experimental, analytical or statistical methods. These courses will address the formulation of hypotheses, the collection of data and the empirical testing of theories through analytical or laboratory inquiry, or will address quantitative methods (taught at a level that requires quantitative literacy).
You may not use a given course to satisfy both the general education requirements and the above requirement for the Bachelor of Science; however, certain courses used to complete a program of study (major, minor, support/elective) may be used to fulfill the Bachelor of Science requirement.
Following is a list of courses approved to be used to fulfill the Bachelor of Science requirement.
