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.
