The General Science Concentration
in the Bachelor of Science program is offered through the College of Basic and
Applied Sciences at MTSU. General Science is one of the oldest academic fields
and remains very significant today. It incorporates a wide range of topics as
science is present all around us every day. General Science is often embraced
by medical professionals, researchers, and scientists as it considers a broad
range of topics and considerations including physics, biology, and chemistry.
Each of these areas are important for a general understanding of our
surroundings. It is a pursuit of truth and understanding of fundamental laws. The
Science major at MTSU offers a broad background in multiple sciences (biology,
chemistry, physics) to support the preparation of science teachers, allied
health technologists, or allied health scientists (see other 3 Science BS
concentrations). The General Science major is complementary to focused science
majors (e.g. Animal Science) or can provide background coursework to
post-baccalaureate students preparing for careers in health professions. Majors
in biochemistry, chemistry, or biology are recommended for high-level health
professions such as medicine or dentistry.
Career Path
To study chemistry is to prepare
for any number of careers, many of which do not necessarily involve lab coats
and flasks. Examples include Agricultural scientist, College professor, Crime
lab analyst, Environmental health specialist, Food scientist technician, Forensic
chemist, Hydrologist, Industrial hygienist, Pharmaceutical sales representative,
Product tester.
