Admission to the College of Science
Applicants must complete at least 24 hours
with a cumulative GPR of at least a 3.00 from the
appropriate tracks. Applicants will not be
admitted without completing the first two
semesters of courses in their declared major with
a 3.00 GPR or better in those courses. For
Biology majors, 8 hours of Chemistry I and II
must also be completed with an average of at
least a 3.00. For Chemistry and Physics majors,
8 hours of calculus I and II must also be
completed with an average of at least a 3.00.
The College of Science will consider second
choice majors if it appears there is some
relationship to the first major choice. For
example, if the first choice major is Chemical
Engineering and second choice major is Chemistry,
a student would be considered for admission to
Chemistry.
