Additionally, no more than one of the research methods courses PS 210 , PS 211 , and SO 393  may count toward this requirement.

Note:

Eight hours in the natural sciences or technology (engineering or computer science). One course from The Natural World requirement of the Core Curriculum can be used to satisfy part of this requirement. Natural science and/or technology courses that are also identified as science, technology, and society electives may be used either to satisfy the natural science/technology requirement or the elective requirement but not both. The 8 hours of science or technology courses are not understood to be part of the minor, and as such, they may be counted toward a minor or major in a science and technology discipline.
