  1. What is Integrated Sciences? A B.A. degree designed for students who: • Want to pursue a rigorous program of study across all the sciences • Plan to work in fields requiring a broad science background, such as: • Formal science education (i.e., middle schools, high schools) • Informal science education (i.e., museums, science centers) • Science writing • Science policy and technology law

  2. INT SCI Degree Requirements Disciplinary Tracks Aquatic & Fishery Sciences Astronomy* Atmospheric Sciences* Biology* Chemistry* Earth & Space Sciences* Environmental & Forest Sciences Oceanography* Physics* • 50-60 credits in basic science and math • 18-20 credits in disciplinary track • 28 credits in Integrated Science courses covering: • Science careers • Science as a discipline • Science and society • Scientific research • Competitive admission: • Based on grades, GPA in 35-45 credits basic science and math, letter of recommendation, and personal statement • Applications accepted in AUT, WIN, and SPR * Includes most coursework for a secondary teaching endorsement for UW’s Master’s in Teaching Program

  3. How Can Transfer Students Prepare for the INT SCI Major? • Start basic science and math coursework, especially: • Calculus (=UW’s MATH 124-126 series) • Chemistry (=UW’s CHEM 142,152,162 series) • Physics (=UW’s PHYS 121-123 or 114-119 series) • Download sample degree checklist/plan for intended track for additional help choosing intro coursework • Email questions to Meghan Oxley at what@uw.edu or set up an advising appointment (appointment scheduling link on website) http://www.artsci.washington.edu/intsci/
