Branches of Scientific Study

The Following lists are the major fields of scientific interest and are available as majors to Science Cadets. Note that while similar fields can be paired with only a few extra years to complete (Physics and Astronomy, Biology and Chemistry, etc), to attain a mastery in two diverse disciplines would require starting virtually from the bottom and working through all of the material again.
