Programs and Opportunities

The College of Science and Mathematics has offerings for pre-college students, current students, and those seeking advanced degrees.

Pre-College Students

The Weston Science Scholars Program is a summer experience based learning opportunity for Montclair High School’s ninth, tenth and eleventh graders. High achieving students specifically in science, mathematics and related fields are given the opportunity to learn science by doing science. The partnership between Montclair State University and Montclair Public Schools is made possible by Judy and Josh Weston and family. The Weston Program at Montclair State University fosters a community of thinkers who ask tough questions and embrace new ideas.

Current Students

IRES is a grant funded program allows students to engage in scientific collaborations at top biology institutes in Japan. Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF Project #2505377), this summer program will provide students with invaluable research and intercultural experiences while working with an international team of biologists to perform advanced neurobiology research on how visual information is processed to drive behavioral responses.

The Mario M. Casabona Future Scientists Program encourages students to recognize the importance of oral communication skills and the ability to discuss the results of scholarship effectively with various audiences and at all levels. The Program motivates, trains and rewards students for the preparation and delivery of effective communication of scientific research to the general public and non-science professionals. Such presentation and communication skills provide students with the capacity to be distinctly competitive and successful in their subsequent educational and career paths.

Doctoral Programs

Our interdisciplinary program takes a holistic approach to research and education, bringing together the physical, chemical, biological, social, and management dimensions of natural and human environments, all grounded in the philosophy of a sustainable world.

Students enrolled in this program are completing coursework while focused on research in mathematics teaching, learning, and curriculum that prepares them for these scholarly activities. As many of our students have experience teaching mathematics at the elementary, secondary, and college levels, their research has the benefit of being grounded in, and applicable to, practice.
