Do you have a scientific interest that doesn’t fit neatly into one subject?

Construct a major around subject areas that bridge two or more disciplines in the natural sciences. Delve deeper into a primary subject area by taking classes and working closely with faculty in that field. Natural sciences gives you the flexibility to design your studies around your interdisciplinary interests.
