CSAB/CSAC January 2000 Criteria for science coursework:
IV-12. The curriculum must include at least 12 semester hours of science.
IV-13. Course work in science must include the equivalent of a two-semester sequence in a laboratory science for science or engineering majors.
IV-14. Science course work additional to that specified in Standard IV-13 must be in science courses or courses that enhance the student's ability to apply the scientific method.

CSAB/CSAC January 2000 Guidance for Interpreting the Criteria
The curriculum should be consistent with widely recognized models and standards. [IV-1 through IV-17] Science course work additional to the two-semester sequence in a laboratory science should be in courses for science or engineering majors or courses with a strong emphasis on quantitative methods. [IV-14]
