Natural Sciences and Math:

Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics

The Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics located in the Science and Mathematics Complex includes twenty one full-time faculty members, one adjunct and eight part-time faculty, and approximately 250 science and math majors. When you choose to major in one of the natural sciences or mathematics, you will study in the company of some of the most talented and brightest students on campus. Smaller classes, particularly in the upper academic levels, foster close relationships among students and faculty. In addition, every professor is available to students for assistance with their studies or for guidance with their academic program and career plans. Throughout the department, student inquiry, research and problem-solving skills are focused and guided through curriculum and classroom practice. The department strives to provide all students, majors and non-majors, opportunities to gain an appreciation for scientific thought and methods, and logical and mathematical reasoning.

Members of the faculty are actively involved in scholarly research and students are afforded an unusual opportunity to participate directly with professors. In this climate, many students gain early acceptance at the best graduate schools, gain preparation for professional work, present papers at meetings of national organizations, and co-author articles that become published in professional journals.
