The mathematics and science emphasis serves students who wish to transfer and enter career programs which depend upon a background in mathematics and/or science.
Entrance Requirements & Recommendations:
Required: Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra 2/Trigonometry; Biology; Chemistry or Physics Recommended: Both Chemistry and Physics
Graduation Requirements:
A minimum of 60 credit hours is required for graduation with a cumulative index of 2.0. Students must also have a cumulative index of at least 2.0 in mathematics and science sequence courses.
The biological science program prepares graduates to function in various scientific laboratories or to continue their education in a number of science or pre-professional fields. The program provides a foundation in biology, chemistry, and mathematics as well as a common core of general studies in English and social sciences. Biological science is a flexible program that can be tailored to fit the educational requirements of a variety of laboratory-related occupations.
A minimum of 63 credit hours is required for graduation, with an overall cumulative index of 2.0. A grade of "C" or better is required in the core science courses (those which have BIOL or CHEM prefixes).
This program is designed for those students who ultimately desire a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in environmental sciences and/or forestry from the SUNY (State University of New York) College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) - an upper division/graduate center. Program options available within this program include environmental and forest biology, chemistry, forest resources management, dual option in forest ecosystems science and forest resources management, environmental studies, forest engineering, paper science and engineering, construction management and wood products engineering, landscape architecture, and the 1+1 forest technology program (NYS Ranger School).
