We present a preliminary evaluation of a recently-instituted multidisciplinary science course that was developed initially for pre-service teachers through funding by the Eisenhower Foundation. The course focuses on physics, biology, and geoscience. Survey and evaluation data for two semesters of the course will be presented and compared with similar data for our traditional non-major courses in geosciences and biological sciences. We will discuss whether the course has resulted in improved student attitudes towards science, improved critical thinking skills, and improved understanding of basic scientific concepts and the process of science. We believe that development of a positive attitude, critical thinking skills, and an understanding of science are essential for adequate preparation of teachers in science. We will also discuss the problems encountered with the development and implementation of a multi-disciplinary course.
