Laboratory Science requirement
Students are required to take one laboratory science course. 
Choose one of the following courses:
BIOL 100, 180, 180H, 182+182L (both courses are required), 183+183L (both courses are required), 185, 210, 220, 220H, 221, 225, 225H
CHEM 110, 130, 180, 185, 220+220L (both courses are required), 225+225L(both courses are required)
MRSC 100/100H+100L/100M (one lecture and one laboratory course is required), 180+108L (both courses are required)
PHYS 110+111 (both courses are required), 130, 135, 185, 280, 285
 

Elective Science requirement
Besides the laboratory science requirement stated above, students must complete a further 18 semester hours of electives, 15 of which may be at the lower division level. Students are encouraged to prepare, in consultation with an advisor, a coherent set of electives to complete a major with an emphasis in scientific computing, business applications, or games and animation. Students who wish to transfer to LMU and major in Computer Science with one of these emphases should contact Tom Gutto (admissions@lmu.edu) for advisement on the remaining science electives that may be completed at the lower division level.
