Abstract

Westminster College’s Biology 102, “The Natural World,” is a general science course in a laboratory-based format for non-science majors. Before 1993, students fulfilled their liberal education requirements with a specialized class in astronomy, biology, botany, geology, or physics. “The Natural World” (URL: http://people.westminstercollege.edu/departments/science/) is designed by a multidisciplinary group of professors to provide a broader view of science.
