Students pursuing an emphasis of study within Physical Science will be exposed to a variety of subjects within math and science. Variations help satisfy requirements to teach in the secondary schools of Kansas in chemistry, earth/space science, physics, and science grades 5-8. Students are ready to transfer to a university or to enter the workforce with knowledge focused on applying critical problemsolving skills and the ability to interpret and analyze data. In Kansas, students are required to complete licensures in two of the areas (chemistry, earth/ space science, physics) or one of these plus an additional licensure area (Math or biology, for example) if going into an educational field.
