All departments in the College offer programs leading to the Bachelor of Science. All departments except Computer Science also offer programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts.
Students have great freedom in choosing a program of study and a major.
However, some of the major programs require sequences of courses that can extend over seven or eight semesters. Students who do not consider this in their course selection during their first year may have to use a summer session or extra semesters to accommodate these sequences. The departments of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics encompass the disciplines which are essential to all fields of scientific research and application. They study the sciences of life, of the planet, of the universe. Information gained from research in chemistry and biology is essential to understanding the processes of life, from cells to organisms to ecosystems.
