The following courses may count toward the required five to six natural and mathematical sciences (N&M) credits. Students may satisfy the N&M requirement in two ways. Students may complete six credits of courses from below, or one of the approved five-credit courses with a strong laboratory component.  These special 5-credit courses have an appropriate, bolded notation. The course (or courses) used to satisfy the mathematical modeling requirement may NOT also be used to satisfy the natural and mathematical sciences requirement.
