The Science programs within the department are:

BIOLOGY

The biology program offers all of the introductory life sciences courses required by the Health Sciences programs and the introductory courses for a life sciences major. Many of the courses are used by Liberal Arts students to fulfill a laboratory science requirement.


CHEMISTRY

The chemistry program offers all of the introductory chemistry courses required by the Health Sciences programs and the complete array of Introductory General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry which constitute the first two years of core courses for a major in chemistry. The introductory courses offered also meet the chemistry requirement for majors in biology, engineering, mathematics, or physics.


EARTH SCIENCES

Introductory courses in Physical Geology and Historical Geology plus Physical Geography constitute the core of introductory courses in Earth Science. These courses are popular among liberal arts students seeking to fulfill a laboratory science requirement.


PHYSICS

The physics program offers introductory physics sequences at three levels. A four-term calculus-based sequence for engineering and physical science majors, a four-term non-calculus sequence for engineering technology associate programs and liberal arts, and a two-term applied physics sequence for diploma and associate programs in the department of industry. A popular course in conceptual physics and one in astronomy complete the program.
