Applicants must meet the general School of Science and Technology admission requirements (see SST section in the LLU online Catalog). Acceptable undergraduate preparation includes a bachelor’s degree in biology, geology, chemistry, physics, or other degree with typical biology and geology prerequisites. In addition, it must include two quarters of college mathematics (calculus recommended); one-year courses in biology, chemistry, and physics; and courses in general ecology and physical geology. Some of these courses may be taken during residence at LLU, with approval of the admissions committee.
