Science personnel are also useful on landing parties for interpreting their surroundings. Science Specializations StarFleet requires the Sciences cadet to study at least two additional specializations in place of a minor. A number of specializations are accepted: Agriculture Anthropology/Archaeology Astronomy Biology Botany Chemistry Ecology Evolution Genetics Geology History Linguistics Meteorology Microbiology Nanotechnology Oceanography Physics Sexology and Gender Studies Sociology Urban Studies Xenology Zoology If the cadet's chosen specialization is of a science not offered by the Academy, cadets can fulfill the requirement through a number of other academic institutions which utilize the same holographic distance-learning system the Academy uses. (Note that in the Trek era, "Sciences" are not limited merely to the so-called "hard" sciences. Social sciences are also considered important by StarFleet. Good examples of this kind of science officer in action are in the TOS episode "Who Mourns For Adonis", where we saw Carolyn Palamas acting as the "Archaeology & Anthropology" officer in the landing party. Another example was Marla McGivers, the Ship's Historian (and Khan's intended) from "Space Seed".) Science Major To major in Science, a cadet must have the following 25 credits: Astronomy: Astrophysics, General Astronomy: Astrophysics, Advanced Chemistry: Physical Chemistry 1 Chemistry: Physical Chemistry 2 Physics Department At least 5 courses.
