SCIN 101 Integrated Sciences I. 4 Credits

Term Typically Offered: Fall

4cr. Prerequisites: M 095. Introduces students to science's foundational concepts and methodologies through an interdisciplinary approach, integrating physical science and earth and space science; including lab. Emphasis is placed on developing a conceptual understanding supported by critical thinking and higher-order skills. Through this framework, students will gain a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of natural sciences and their applications to real-world phenomena. While the course is concept-focused rather than calculation-heavy, basic algebra skills are required for specific tasks related to scientific inquiry and data analysis.
