Natural Sciences Pathway

The natural sciences pathway is a great option if you know you're interested in biology, chemistry or physics, but you're not yet sure which one you want to pursue.

As a student in the natural sciences pathway, you'll get to participate in research projects with faculty or serve as a teaching assistant in undergraduate laboratories. You'll get the hands-on experience you'll need to discover the sort of science you're interested in. If you choose to continue your studies, you can move into one of our biology, chemistry, or physics bachelor's degree programs.

What Is a Pathway

Your core curriculum classes are the college-level classes that everyone completes in their first and sophomore years of college. These are your foundational English, math, science and liberal arts classes.

When you choose a pathway, you take classes related to that subject in order to complete your core curriculum requirements. This allows you to explore your interests while working toward your goal of getting a degree in a subject you are passionate about and want to have a career in.

Once all of your pathway requirements are completed, you can earn the Associate of Arts or Science in Core Curriculum degree. You can then choose to enter the workforce, or seamlessly continue into a bachelor’s degree program at UNG.
