    Abstract
    If being in college promotes science literacy and critical, evidence-based thinking, then college seniors should demonstrate higher levels of scientific knowledge and lower levels of religious belief than should freshmen. Among seniors, those in Math & Natural Sciences should score higher in science literacy than should those in other disciplines. The current study was designed to test these predictions.
