Because science and technology profoundly shape the
world in which we live, Hope College requires students to take ten
credits of mathematics
and natural science courses. Students will deepen their understanding
of mathematical reasoning and appreciate the usefulness and limitations
of mathematical models. Students will also deepen their understanding
of the processes of science and the way that science interprets the
natural world. Students will “do” science in hands-on contexts
in laboratories and through field work.
Whether you are a science major or seeking to become conversant in
a general way within science and mathematics will dictate your personal
pathway in meeting this requirement. Consult with your advisor as you
choose courses.
