Brigham Young University. Normal School. Dept. of Natural Sciences
In 1905, Brigham Young University's Normal Information Courses department split into several new departments, including the Department of Natural Sciences. In 1906, the general education departments, including the Department of Natural Sciences, were absorbed by the High School. Normal Students would then take their general education classes from the High School or from the College, while still receiving teacher training coursework from the Normal School.
