COR 123 - Natural Science & Community

Any course with the COR 123 catalog number counts towards:

• The Natural Scientific Inquiry Literacy: Natural science is an ever-growing body of knowledge, and an evidence-based way of understanding the nature of our world. Scientific literacy has never been more needed than now as we navigate the challenges of the 21^st century. Evidence-based knowledge depends upon the collection and analysis of empirical data. These data are gathered on biological, chemical, and physical phenomena to test hypotheses or challenge theories. Scientific literacy requires disciplined critical thinking skills, and an ability to discern the reliability of information sources. Finally, natural scientific inquiry must be paired with clear and effective communication of data-based evidence, to improve our lives.
  • Students must complete one Core course in the Natural Scientific Inquiry Literacy. Any course listed as COR 121  , COR 122  , COR 123, or COR 124  completes this requirement.
