Approved SFA Courses

Last updated Sept. 15, 2022

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.
