Laboratory Science University Requirement (LAB)
Each baccalaureate student must take at least one course of three credits or more designated to meet the Laboratory Science University Requirement. These courses must meet the following requirements:
The course must have been approved for inclusion in the General Education program.
The course must have a designated laboratory as approved by the Committee on Undergraduate Programs (CUP).
At least two-thirds of the content must focus on a natural science discipline or combination of disciplines.
The natural science disciplines are astronomy, biology, chemistry, geology, meteorology, oceanography, and physics. Courses which do not originate in a department which is home to these disciplines must have the approval of the appropriate department(s) that the two-thirds of content requirement is met.
