The Bachelor of Science in Natural Sciences provides a comprehensive grounding across all four core scientific disciplines (Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, and Physics). Students can specialize further through disciplinary concentrations in two of these fields, while the foundational science concentration incorporates teacher certification coursework. While designed primarily for future middle and high school science educators, this program equally prepares graduates for diverse careers in business, industry, or government sectors requiring scientific expertise.
This degree fulfills the subject matter requirements for California's science teacher certification, enabling graduates to take the California Subject Matter Examinations for Teachers (CSET) in Science. Individuals holding existing degrees who seek subject matter competency certification in sciences can find details about CSET Exams at www.cset.nesinc.com.
