Schools and Departments
The College of Science and Mathematics separates our specialties into six schools and departments. While our focus in these areas allow us to provide top-tier classroom experiences and mentorship, faculty within the college are also encouraged to work and collaborate on interdisciplinary projects.
The Department of Biology strives to foster a critical-thinking mentality and a desire to discover new knowledge. We impart rigorous scientific reasoning and generally imperative skills in budding life scientists applicable in many careers our local and global communities need. Department faculty interact closely with students in the classroom, in the laboratory and in the field providing our students a fully immersive experience.
The Chemistry Deartment's mission is preparing and positioning motivated individuals for careers or advanced studies in chemistry, biochemistry and chemistry-based sciences.
The Department of Earth and Environmental Studies has the dual benefits of a small department where our students and faculty members know each other by name, but one that is large in stature through our world-class faculty who provide hands-on learning experience in projects supported by NASA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the National Science Foundation, and carried out in study areas including the Alaska Arctic Tundra, Antarctica, and every place in between.
The Department of Mathematics is committed to supporting all learners form a deeper appreciation for the power, role, relevance and beauty of mathematics within a dynamic, collaborative and personalized environment. Our undergraduate and graduate programs encourage students to think critically and creatively as they pursue purposeful questions from multiple perspectives. We embrace and advance connections among the sciences, arts, humanities and business through mathematics.
Physics is a difficult subject, and pursuing a physics degree will require more than just a passing interest in physics or astronomy. The department provides opportunities and resources to ensure you can succeed!
The School of Computing strives to deliver high-quality computing education and research that fosters innovation, critical thinking, and real-world problem-solving. By integrating emerging technologies, advancing interdisciplinary research, and collaborating with industries, it prepares our graduates to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape and become leaders in future technological innovation.
