Mathematics And Science

A national survey of psychology departments (N = 520) revealed that their institutions' general education programs require that undergraduates take an average of one course in mathematics (algebra or above) and two natural or physical science courses. Requirements for BA and BS degrees were nearly identical. Some psychology departments are attempting to increase the scientific literacy of their majors through a variety of course and proficiency retirements. Two recommendations for further research concerning mathematics and science education are offered.
