STEM Pathway Courses

Scholarships sponsored by the STEP Office require that a recipient take major-level courses in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics) discipline to maintain eligibility for the scholarship.

If a scholarship recipient is a declared STEM major, any course they take to advance their progress in the major meets our scholarship criteria.  If a scholarship recipient is not a STEM major, they must select major-level courses. The following list of courses is allowable 100- and 200-level courses. All upper-level (300-400) courses in AGSC, BIOL, CHEM, and PHYS that count towards majors in those areas will fulfill scholarship requirements.

If you are participating in one of the STEP Office’s scholarship programs and you are interested in taking a course that is not listed below, please email step@truman.edu.
