University Requirements: Analytic Reasoning and Natural Sciences (10 credits)

Analytic Reasoning

Analytic reasoning is the formulation and critique of deductive and inductive arguments, both quantitative and non-quantitative. This reasoning is essential to many intellectual activities, such as critical thinking, creating new knowledge, and applying reason to solving problems. This requirement aims to engage students in mathematics, logic, statistics, or computer science learning experiences.

Natural Sciences

The Natural Sciences requirement aims to introduce students to the sciences of the physical world, its phenomena, and the laws governing these phenomena. The branches of Natural Sciences-such as astronomy, geosciences, biological sciences, chemistry, physics-deal primarily with matter, energy, and their interrelations and transformations; with living organisms and the principles governing all life forms; and with the physical processes and composition of nature and its products.
