Courses within these disciplines emphasize the philosophy and processes of science and mathematics, the contribution of science and mathematics to contemporary culture, and environmental issues. The philosophy of the division is to involve students in the process of science through active student research as a means of developing skills needed for critical thought about issues in science. The division offers majors in biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, mathematics: secondary education, natural sciences, and natural science: secondary education. Our courses are fully transferable to other accredited institutions for students who plan to continue studies in physical therapy, occupational therapy, forestry, engineering, agriculture, medical technology, pharmacy, dental hygiene, pre-med, pre-dental, veterinary science and physician assistance. Students should contact the division office for a faculty advisor in order to plan the courses for their major. The divisions objectives are to provide a well-balanced and high quality science and mathematics education and four-year (BS and BA) degrees in science, mathematics, and secondary science and mathematics education. Students develop specific skills and competencies, become aware of the social role of scientists and mathematicians in the world community, develop personal and intellectual attributes for thoughtful decision making, and develop a general education foundation which promotes competency for life. The division also has many special facilities to assist in undergraduate education and provide opportunities for individual research projects. NATURAL SCIENCES AND MATHEMATICS DIVISION
