*The level indicated here will give students general advice about the background required for this science class. Introductory classes require no specific background. Intermediate classes will suit the majority of students who already have some fundamentals in that area, having completed a year or two of studies in that discipline. Advanced classes require a strong background and are recommended for students who have completed most of a major in that area or an associated area.
