In addition, our majors gain working knowledge in hydrogeology and geographic information systems. This program is designed to prepare students for medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, physical therapy and other related health fields. Students interested in seeking entrance into these professions usually complete a baccalaureate degree prior to admittance to a medical, dental, or veterinary school. Pre-medical students may wish to consider the interdisciplinary option with majors in science and a minor in some area of humanities. The mathematics major is characterized by a balance between theory and application, beginning in the precalculus sequence and continuing through to a senior project.
Appropriate technology is integrated at all levels of the curriculum.
At the end of the program students are prepared to enter graduate school or business and industry. Students may also complete courses required for secondary teaching certification. Based upon the processes of science, this major provides learning experience and subject matter skills necessary for the secondary school teacher who must be prepared to teach a variety of science courses. At the same time it allows the student to selectively acquire depth of subject matter in a concentrated discipline of science. The versatility inherent to this major is especially applicable to teaching in junior high schools and smaller senior high schools.
