  • An undergraduate BA or BS in Integrated/General Science or equivalent from an accredited college or university, including the following:
    • Physics & Astronomy
      • Modern Physics; Astronomy for Science Majors; Calculus-based Introductory Mechanics Physics Course with Lab; Algebra-based Electricity and Magnetism with Lab
    • Chemistry
      • Inorganic Chemistry I for Science Majors with Lab; Inorganic Chemistry II for Science Majors with Lab; Organic Chemistry I for Science Majors
    • Biology
      • Introductory Biology I for Science Majors with Lab (Cell Structures and Function, Molecular Biology, Mendelian and Population Genetics, Evolutionary Theory and Ecology); Introductory Biology II for Science Majors with Lab (Evolutionary theory, Ecology, Plant Physiology, Development, and Diversity; Animal Physiology, Development, Diversity, and Behavior); Ecology
    • Earth Science
      • Earth Science for Science Majors with Lab - Dynamic Earth Systems; Earth Science for Science Majors with Lab (earth systems through time); Earth Science (weather, climate, and earth systems with Lab)

The transcripts, analysis of goals, and letters of recommendation should give evidence of potential for graduate-level scholarship.
