The College of Science and Mathematics provides programs of study for students in the areas of biology, chemistry, computer science, earth and environmental sciences, mathematics, physics, and psychology. Support courses for nonscience majors such as agriculture, engineering, and the health professions and courses for the general education of all university students are also offered through the college. Our programming goals are to provide professional training at the undergraduate and graduate levels; to serve as a foundation for a career in science/mathematics; to provide preprofessional training in preparation for careers in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, and other professions; or to provide continued study at the graduate level.
Furthermore, students and faculty members in the college conduct research and scholarly activities in their academic areas and in solving applied scientific problems of the region. These research activities are carried out by campus scientists along with investigators at other research centers.
The College of Science and Mathematics is involved with the school systems in science and mathematics teacher education.
The recruitment, retention, and education of underrepresented minorities and females in science and mathematics are also major emphases.
