Purpose

The Division of Natural Science includes the disciplines of Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Geology and Physics. The course offerings in these disciplines are designed to develop in all students a better understanding of the principles of science, to better equip them to meet the needs of a technological society, and to provide them with the professional competence necessary to pursue successfully a career in one of these disciplines. The Natural Science faculty encourages cooperation with other disciplines in the total education of the student.

A student may pursue a B.A. or B.S. degree with a major in Biology, or Chemistry, or Environmental Science. Teacher Certification is available with a major in Biology or Chemistry. Minors are available in Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, and Physics.

A B.S. degree in Medical Technology or Pharmacy Science is available, but requires completion of the degree at another location or with courses from a doctor of pharmacy program at another university.

Pre-Chiropractic, Pre-Dental, Pre-Engineering, Pre-Medical, Pre-Medical Technology, Pre-Optometry, Pre-Pharmacy, Pre-Physical Therapy, Pre-Physician Assistant, and Pre-Veterinarian students are advised by members of the Natural Science Faculty.
