Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics |
The
Department of Natural Sciences and Mathematics
situated in the Lois Underwood Beach Building
includes eighteen full-time faculty members,
five staff and part-time positions, 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.
