Division of Natural Sciences


The Division of Natural Sciences provides education for three types of students:  (1) those who want to obtain the Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or Mathematics with an emphasis in Computer Science; (2) all students, as part of their liberal arts education; and (3) secondary education students who are focusing on one of the disciplines mentioned above.Because of the increasingly important role of science and technology in society, the course offerings of the Division of Natural Sciences are a vital part of the liberal arts education.  General education courses in the Division are designed to relate basic principles of science in nature and to see the impact of technology on society.  The rationale of the scientific method, analytical reasoning, and computational analysis is emphasized.

Majors
Graduates of the following majors will be prepared to attend graduate schools or related professional schools (e.g., medical, dental, pharmacy, allied health schools), to work in industry, or to prepare for other fields (e.g., teaching, management, law).
