Our department responds to the demands and opportunities of an ever-changing world and changing student body through a proven yet innovative curriculum. As a hub of science, our students routinely collaborate with other departments across the campus.
We offer educational, informative, and engaging lab experiences with world-class faculty and have recently added certificate programs that take advantage of known linkages between our department and other programs such as business, law, and clinical training. These certificates demonstrate the ability to blend a powerful liberal arts foundation with field-based knowledge and experiences.
We are also taking the lead in developing innovative and engaging online educational formats for our foundational courses.
Our degree programs offer you the freedom to explore a variety of areas within the field. We organize our courses into “interest clusters” and you may select courses from any or all of those clusters, working with your advisor to ensure you are fulfilling the requirements for your degree.
