It depends on what you mean. If someone is learning science to help their Talmud Torah and to understand Hashem’s world, then it’s Muttar (see Rama YD 245, I believe). If someone’s learning Mada to get a job, that’s also fine. If someone’s learning science to attack Judaism or to try and make Judaism fit in with the scientific world, that’s bad.
