A prestigious program for high-ranking students, the Science, Letters, and Society (SLS) major is an interdisciplinary program that provides a challenging liberal arts education. The overarching goal of the SLS major is to nurture well-educated individuals who will demonstrate a mastery of content knowledge and related skills in the natural sciences and mathematics, the humanities, and the social sciences. SLS is the required major for students who wish to obtain certification as teachers of Early Childhood Education (birth through grade two) and Childhood Education (grades one – six). For those students who are not planning a career in Education, the SLS degree is excellent preparation for further study at the graduate level. A minimum GPA of 3.0 is required for admission to and continuation in the SLS program.
