The following introductory-level courses without prerequisites enable students to fulfill the area requirement in science (Sc) through study in a wide range of disciplines. In addition, there are a multitude of Sc courses with prerequisites (such as single-variable calculus or introductory work in a natural or social science) that can be fulfilled through introductory-level course work or advanced placement. Students may view the complete list of Sc courses or search for Sc courses in specific departments using the Yale Course Search web site. Please note, not all course are offered every semester.
