Students must complete two core classes in physics, two core classes in chemistry, and four in mathematics. Each program requires completion of the Global Perspectives 21 Curriculum (typically completed by Drury students at the end of their junior year), as well as electives to complete a major. Those who enter the program at the end of their junior year must apply for a waiver of the senior residency requirement and typically, they must also transfer credit back to Drury to fulfill the 124 hours needed for graduation.
