Show SCHOOL OF NATURAL SCIENCES Garth L. Welch, Dean The School of Natural Sciences offers a comprehensive program encompassing the biological, earth, and physical sciences. In the departments of Botany Chemistry, Geology-Geography, Microbiology, Physics, and Zoology, students prepare for vocations and employment as well as for graduate and professional schools. These departments also offer courses in General Education to give students from all schools at Weber State a broad knowledge and appreciation for the role of science in daily living. Students planning to major or minor in the School of Natural Sciences should contact the appropriate department for assistance in planning their program. The details of the requirements for all of these majors and minors are listed with the respective departments. Students completing the teaching majors or teaching minors will also work closely with the School of Education. Students completing baccalaureate programs in the School of Natural Sciences may receive either the bachelor of arts degree or the bachelor of science degree.

Description —Botany is the science of plant study including the morphology, metabolism, diversity, distribution, systematics and ecological relationships of all plants. Natural systems are plant-dependent so that a knowledge of plants is basic to their understanding. Such knowledge is especially important today as we find ourselves in a world of rapidly changing values, technologies and man-nature interactions. Botany is, fundamentally, a pure science which includes any research into the life of plants and which is limited only by man's technical means of satisfying his curiosity. It is an important part of a liberal education, not only because it is necessary for an understanding of agriculture, forestry, hor- 249 QBriBfirf-" n ration tTfirr BfgiStrjat HfltertJeph frograms Recerds -I Allied— Health- Economics CUULdt on Sciences 7irtiir Humanities rjusiness $ Social Sciences ( 4- |
