Overview

As a General Science student at Mount Saint Mary College, you’ll combine coursework in Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, and Physics to develop a holistic understanding of the field. Similar to our Biology major, you’ll start out with principles courses to develop the basics and continue to build on that foundation with additional courses.

Outside of the classroom, you’ll have numerous opportunities to continue your learning. Whether volunteering with Family Science Night, taking part in the SURE summer research experience, or even participating in conservation efforts abroad, you’ll be putting your General Science studies into action from day one.

About the programme

Here’s what makes the Mount’s General Science degree unique:

Make it your own: As an Interdisciplinary Studies major, you get to forge your own path. Working closely with an advisor to keep you on track, you’ll pick from a variety of science courses that interest you and align with your goals.
Science family: Welcome to the Natural Sciences family! Our science majors are some of the close knit on campus. You’ll constantly find them working together outside of class, writing lab reports or participating in research. The best part? They have a place at the table saved for you.
Pass it on: If you’re planning on becoming an elementary school science teacher, the versatility of this degree allows you not only to understand science, but also gives you what you need to share that love with others.

Careers

Mount Saint Mary College's General Science degree pairs nicely with certification in Elementary Education, so many of our General Science graduates go on to teach the subject they love. Others use their science background as a motivator to attend graduate or professional school and go into the fields of education, research, or health care. We even had one General Science alum who decided to go into environmental law! A degree in General Science gives you the flexibility to be prepared for wherever your degree takes you.
