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 from the following list of courses.

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.

All upper-level (300-400) courses in AGSC, BIOL, CHEM, and PHYS that count towards majors in those areas will fulfill scholarship requirements.
