For Those Pursuing Science-based Careers: Students with a minor in one of the sciences (biology, chemistry, geology, or physics) or in engineering will share a common curriculum as upperclassmen that draws heavily from the sciences, and graduates of this track will have broad interdisciplinary training with a strong science background. Their strength will be in this breadth as well as in their specific discipline.
