Physical or Life Science Laboratory

Physical or Life Science Laboratory

Physical or Life Science Laboratory

These courses seek answers to the fundamental questions about the structure and function of God's creation.  The scientific disciplines employ the scientific method, which permits robust discoveries about God's creation and allows for the designing and understanding of technological advances.  In today's world, Christians must be introduced to the natural sciences in order to develop the knowledge and skills required for a broadly informed, ethical, and Christ centered education in the liberal arts and professional studies.

Most students at Greenville University must complete one natural science laboratory course. Natural science courses are those taught in Biology (BIOL), Chemistry (CHEM), and Physics (PHYS).  Courses that have laboratory components all require students to sign up for separate laboratory sections.

Some students are exempt from the natural science requirement. Those entering GU with an A.A. or A.S. degree do not have to take a natural science class to fulfill the general education requirement.
