SCIENCE MAJORS
“Minimum” is the minimum coursework needed in order to complete a B.A. in the associated major in two
years, requiring multiple “heavy” semesters with three or four science courses in one semester. Students on
a four-year B.A. path typically take two science or math courses each semester.
“Minimum” coursework will not enable a student to complete a B.S. in two years. Students who do not
meet the “minimum” pre-requisites may be able to complete the program, given extra time or some summer
coursework, and should contact the departmental representatives below.
“Optimal” is the additional coursework to put a transfer student on the same schedule as a student who
entered Mills College as a freshwoman, for the B.A. program. Students who enter at this level will also be
able to complete the B.S. by taking one or more semesters with 4 science courses and/or some summer
coursework.
“Recommended” courses are specifically for students interested in the B.S. degree. In the B.S. program,
students typically take 3 science and/or math courses after the freshman year. With the recommended
coursework completed, transfer students should not need to take more than 3 science/math courses in one
semester to complete the B.S. degree.
