The College of Science and Mathematics provides a range of opportunities for students to study in the areas of biology, chemistry, computer information systems, environmental science, engineering, and mathematics.

The goal of each program is to provide professional training at the undergraduate level to serve as a foundation for each student to pursue their interests. For some, this means a career in science, computer information systems, or mathematics. For others, it is the preparation to go on to graduate level work in pursuit of a higher degree, or the preparation to enter a medical school for a career in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physical therapy or veterinary medicine.
