Approved SFA Courses
Last updated Jan. 15, 2025
The list of currently approved SFA courses includes two categories: general introductory science courses (for majors and minors) and courses designed for SFA. Both categories satisfy the core science requirement. This course list will be updated as new courses are added or previous courses are significantly modified.
