Program Description
The requirements set forth in each of the majors are designed to prepare graduates for a wide variety of potential career paths. Central to the design of each of our program’s degree tracks is an emphasis on the versatility imparted by a liberal arts education. We strive to prepare students for employment and continued life-long learning. Therefore, the requirements for the science majors integrate direct, hands-on learning with critical and creative thinking oriented education.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Apply the scientific process and critical thinking in problem solving.
- Demonstrate the ability to safely and appropriately use current scientific technology/instrumentation in the lab and field.
- Demonstrate the application of fundamental natural science concepts in the analysis or resolution of a science-based question of interest.
- Conduct original research, organize that research into an original argument, and present that argument in oral and/or written forms.
