Science courses integrate the natural sciences, providing the opportunity to see the
interrelatedness of the different science disciplines. Students experience the processes of sci-
ence and relate the natural sciences to areas outside the classroom and laboratory.
SCI 121. SCIENCE WITHOUT BORDERS
4 sh
Investigate the major ideas in the natural sciences and their commonalities in this nontradi-
tional science course emphasizing the processes of science through hands-on, minds-on
activities. Intended for nonscience majors, Science Without Borders is a natural science
course and students are responsible for understanding science content and processes.
Students collaborate to prepare projects relating the natural sciences to a complex “real-
world” problem and bring in other disciplines in a benefits/risks analysis.This course does
not carry lab credit, but does count toward the nonlaboratory science General Studies
requirement.
