Q SCI Summer Quarter
Register for the Q SCI ‘super summer’ schedule to get a foundation in calculus and statistics for environmental or biological sciences. Work on your quantitative skills in a small-classroom environment with the following courses. You can register for any course individually or take the set for a complete summer schedule. All of these courses can apply to a Minor in Quantitative Science - see attached planning sheet for details.
