87 DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL EDUCATION FOR PHYSICAL SCIENCE W. R. Buss, C. A. Osmond, V. Stromberg The Department of General Education is a newly created department within the Mathematics and Physical Science Division. The courses of this department consists of Physical Science 1 and 2, which are "General Education" courses. These aim to develop within the student characteristics and abilities that will enable him to understand and appreciate the physical environment in which we live, and its effects on man's behavior, and create the desire to apply scientific discovery to the betterment of humanity. These courses are designed primarily for the non-physical science and non-engineering majors. Students who complete the 9 credit hours in these two courses will have met the physical science group requirements, while 12 credit hours will be required to complete these group requirements if other subjects in the division are selected for that purpose. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION Physical Science 1. Physical Science. This General Education course is designed to give the student some understanding and appreciation of the important concepts of the physical sciences as they apply to social and individual problems as well as to science itself. This course draws its material from the fields of astronomy, chemistry, climatology, geology, meteorology, and physics. Four lectures and one discussion-laboratory or field trip a week. No prerequisities. Five quarter hours. Autumn, Winter, Spring. Buss, Osmond, Stromberg 2. Physical Science. A continuation of Physical Science 1. Three lectures and one discussion-laboratory or field trip a week. Prerequisite: Physical Science 1. Four quarter hours. Autumn, Winter, Spring. Buss, Osmond, Stromberg DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY R. S. Gray, A. J. Johanson, V. Stromberg Because of the required subjects necessary for the physical sciences, a chemistry major may not be able to complete the group requirements during the Freshman and Sophomore years. These group requirements may be completed during the Junior and Senior years. A Chemistry major should carefully plan his course with his adviser. It is recommended that a student pursuing a major in chemistry complete in his first two years Chemistry 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9; Mathematics 4, 7, 8, 9, 10; and Physics 4, 5, 6. A maximum of 15 credit hours in elementary chemistry (Chemistry 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) will be credited towards graduation or accepted for credit.
