自然科学学士学位可满足两个受众的需求：想要成为高中或初中/初中科学老师的学生。想要广泛接触数学和物理科学，而不是一门学科专业的学生。具有中学科学教育执照的毕业生将发现对科罗拉多州和美国其他地区的高中和初中/中学教师的强烈需求。此外，这些毕业生还将具有研究生科学教育计划所需的背景。通过适当的计划，物理科学专业的毕业生可以满足专业学校（例如医学或法律）或基础或应用科学专业的研究生课程的要求。实习和志愿者活动可以提供实践培训和经验。
The Bachelor of Science in Natural Sciences meets the needs of two audiences:<br><br>Students who wish to become high school or junior high/middle school science teachers.<br>Students who seek a broad exposure to mathematics and the physical sciences, rather than specialization in one discipline.<br>Learning Objectives<br>Students will demonstrate:<br><br>Skills to critically interpret scientific data.<br>Logical and critical thinking.<br>The ability to analyze and solve complex problems.<br>Strong written and oral communication skills.<br>Potential Occupations<br>Graduates with licensure in secondary science education will find a strong demand for high school and junior high/middle school teachers in Colorado and elsewhere in the nation. In addition, these graduates will also have the background required for graduate science education programs.<br><br>With proper planning, physical science graduates can meet requirements for professional schools (e.g., medicine or law) or graduate programs in the basic or applied sciences. Internships and volunteer activities can provide practical training and experience.
