<p>My daughter wants me to ask a question. For her major Journalism it says required 8 hours of natural science with a lab? How can you tell which of the science classes qualify for this requirement?</p>

<p>My son had another question about natural science. In the computer science major, it states “Approved natural science (N) electives must be chosen from “majors” courses.”</p>
<p>How do we know if something is in the “majors” courses? I can’t tell by the chart you linked to. </p>
<p>He is asking because he took AP Physics B, and would get credit for Physics 101 and 102. But it is unclear if it meets the “majors” criteria. </p>
<p>Thanks !</p>
<p>The “majors courses” are the ones that science majors and pre-med students have to take. They’re the harder versions.</p>

<p>…**Computer Science majors are required to earn a total of 12 credits in Natural Science courses. Of those 12, 8 must be in sequence. Please see the Basic Courses in Computer Engineering below for a list of acceptable Natural Science sequences. **…</p>
<p>then the list of acceptable NS sequences -
Astronomy Sequence
( 8 Credits in AY 101 and 102 and 203* and 204* ) or</p>
<p>Biology Sequence
( 8 Credits in BSC 114 and 115* and 116* and 117* ) or</p>
<p>Chemistry I and II Sequence
( 8 Credits in CH 101* and 102* ) or</p>
<p>Introductory Chemistry Sequence
( 8 Credits in CH 104 and 105* ) or</p>
<p>Honors Chemistry I and II Sequence
( 8 Credits in CH 117* and 118* ) or</p>
<p>Geology Sequence
( 8 Credits in GEO 101 and 102* ) or</p>
<p>Geology Sequence
( 8 Credits in GEO 101 and 105 ) or</p>
<p>Geography Sequence
( 2 Classes in GY 101 and 102 ) or</p>
<p>Physics Sequence
( 8 Credits in PH 101* and 102* ) or</p>
<p>Physics with Calculus Sequence
( 8 Credits in PH 105* and 106* ) or</p>
<p>Honors Physics Sequence
*</p>
<p>So there are only 4 credits of Nat. Science electives which have to come from Major Courses, the first 8 come from the above approved sequences.</p>
<p>Thank you so much! That answers his question completely. He was unsure if physics 101/102 would count or not. It is not clear in the online things that we could find!</p>
<p>I know, DS just figured it out recently :)</p>
