Majors

Biology

Biology is the study of life. It is an investigative science that relies upon inquiry, curiosity and experimentation. Biologists study life at the molecular, genetic, cellular and developmental levels in plants, animals, bacteria, fungi and isolated cells. Ecologists and field biologists examine interactions between organisms and their environments.

Biotechnology

Biotechnology is the application of biology knowledge and techniques to develop products that improve human health, animal health and agriculture. It is a major theme for the new economy of the 21st century, resulting in worker training initiatives and state programs to stimulate economic growth.

Chemistry

Chemistry is all around us and is part of our everyday lives. Chemists create new substances and new materials, and they invent new uses for chemicals that solve significant problems for our society. Because chemistry is the underlying basis for advancing fields, students who pursue chemistry degrees will discover an array of career opportunities.

Computer & Information Science

The science of computing is investigated from complex mathematical algorithms through mnemonic code, translated to binary base and realized in real-world applications. Computer science graduates enter the workplace armed with technical proficiency, project management skills, communication expertise and high-thinking skills needed to develop working solutions for computing challenges.
Computer & Information Science

Environmental Science

Environmental science is an interdisciplinary field of study that investigates questions related to the human population, natural resources and environmental management. It focuses on important modern concerns like how our global climate is changing and how that change may affect human activities.
Department of Earth Sciences

Forensic and Investigative Sciences

Forensic science is the application of scientific methods to matters involving the public. In many cases, forensic science helps solve crimes. The forensic science program provides students with a strong and thorough foundation in the basic sciences of biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics.
Forensic & Investigative Sciences Program

Geology

Geology is the science of the origin and evolution of the Earth and the environments in which we live. Geologists investigate and describe natural processes that shape the Earth’s surface, including the interactions between humans, animals and the environment.
Department of Earth Sciences

Interdisciplinary Studies

The interdisciplinary studies program allows students to design their own majors that are science-based, interdisciplinary and not represented by existing major programs. The individualize degree lets you combine science with the arts, with journalism, with other sciences—with anything you can imagine.

Mathematics

Mathematics is one of the oldest and most fundamental sciences. Mathematicians use mathematical theory, computational techniques, algorithms and the latest computer technology to solve economics, scientific, engineering, physics and business problems.
Department of Mathmatical Sciences

Physics

Physics has a large and direct impact on the quality of life we enjoy today. The knowledge derived from its pursuit has enabled innovations like semiconductor technology for computers, lighter and safer materials for automobiles, magnetic resonance imaging in medicine and satellite and Internet communications.
Department of Physics

Psychology

Psychology is the study of behavior and mental processes. Psychologists apply the scientific method to increase their understanding and cognition of human and animal behavior.
