Dr. Agnès Kim Associate Professor of Physics gives an overview of Penn State Scranton's Bachelor of 科学 degree in 科学.
Our science degree has the flexibility to tailor your classes and experiences.
The Bachelor of 科学 degree in 科学 (SCICC) provides a multi-disciplinary science education that is intended for students who desire broad training in scientific thought and methods.
The science degree provides a foundation for careers in a variety of scientific disciplines such as:
- pharmaceutical
- biotechnical
- 化学
- 盟军的健康

科学 Program Courses
Students can also tailor courses to meet the specific requirements of professional programs such as medical, dental, or pharmacy schools and graduate study in the life sciences.
Students complete foundational courses in calculus, chemistry, physics, and the life sciences and then can specialize in upper level courses based on either the 生活 科学 or General 科学 option. A large number of supporting credits permit students to readily include significant breadth or specialization into their undergraduate curriculum including credits for undergraduate research.
科学 major options offered at Penn State Scranton:
一般选择
This is a terrific option for students interested in science-related careers but not intending to go into a scientific field itself. Half of the upper-level courses must be in science, but the other half can be in other areas. 例如, one could take IST courses to prepare for a career in science-related programming or software development, or business or marketing courses to prepare for marketing scientific products or pharmaceutical sales.
生活 科学 Option
Students interested in graduate school or professional school should choose this option. Upper-level courses in biology prepare students for application to dental school, medical school, or other allied-health training. It can also be a starting point for 环境 jobs or entry-level laboratory jobs in a variety of fields including agriculture and bioscience.
