- A Natural Science course with a lab must be completed with a grade of C or better.
- The course must be eligible to earn General Education Natural Science credit. Psychology courses (ex. PSYC 1101) may not be used for this requirement.
- Higher level science classes may also be used to meet this requirement if you have taken the class with a corresponding lab (e.g. BIOL 2120/2130 and 2140L).
- An overall GPA of 2.00.
- A Psychology GPA of 2.00 (includes Psychology courses and Natural Science with a lab).
