Notes:
The undergraduate program, leading to the Bachelor of Science degree, is considered a pre-professional program. As such, it prepares students for graduate work in the discipline. Students should become familiar with the admission standards for graduate school and attempt to meet the minimum requirements for admission while they are enrolled in the undergraduate program.
