The College of Science and Mathematics (CSM) provides undergraduate and graduate programs of study for students in the areas of biology, chemistry, computer science, environmental science, geology, mathematics, physics, and psychology. The CSM seeks to provide both majors and non-majors with a science foundation that is appropriate to their career goals and to provide them with knowledge and skills that will allow them to function as responsible and contributing members of society. Our primary goals are to provide professional training and student-centered research experiences that involve significant collaboration with professors to (1) serve as a foundation for a career in the sciences; (2) provide preprofessional training in preparation for careers in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, and other professions; (3) prepare students for careers as science and mathematics teachers; and (4) provide for continued study at the graduate level.
The CSM is guided by the principles of student success, strategic partnerships within the university and community, and interdisciplinary inquiry. Students and faculty in the college conduct research and scholarly activities in their academic fields and in solving scientific problems of the region and beyond. At that same time, we ensure "science literacy" for our non-science majors to ensure they gain critical scientific knowledge and experience that will be valuable no matter what career they pursue. We are committed to ensuring student success and equipping them with the necessary technical and critical thinking skills to be marketable for the workplace and competitive for graduate schools.
