Natural sciences at Excelsior

[dfrecore]

Statistics satisfied 3 of my natural science credits at Excelsior.  So it seems likely that all college level mathematics courses would be applied as natural sciences as well.  I believe that computer science courses come in as natural sciences also but I didn't take any computer science courses so I can't be sure of that.  But I do know that info systems courses come in as elective applied sciences, not natural sciences.

I have not heard that EC or COSC counts CompSci courses as NatSci - only TESU does that I'm aware of.

When looking at the degree, it specifically requires Stats for the NatSci degree, so I'm not surprised that it worked for you if that was your major.  If you're talking about a different major, then EC doesn't have a requirement for just Natural Sciences in GE's - they actually have a NatSci/Math area in there, so stats would work in that area.

Also, they list NatSci and math as separate things in the GE area, so I'm almost positive they don't count them as the same thing.  And, last but not least, for the NatSci degree, they list Biology and then Physical Sciences - so I'm guessing it only includes what most schools would consider NatSci - biological sciences, and physical sciences, but not math or CompSci.

But it would probably be easier to just ask them.
