internship experiences. Moreover, students interested in earning a teaching certificate in secondary education in biology may follow the approved sequence leading to initial teacher certification offered by our Education Programs Department. The B.S. in biology is the best choice for a major for those planning to teach biology at the secondary level. Students interested in teaching science at the middle school level need a variety of science courses including biology. Please contact our Education Programs Department for additional information. A major in Chemistry leading to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree prepares students for industry, graduate school or professional school (including medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine). This is achieved through a broad-based education that includes exposure to major areas of chemistry including analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic and physical. In both the classroom setting and in the laboratory, students will interact directly with our faculty, taking advantage of our small student to faculty ratio.

Mathematics gives students the ability to reason quantitatively and logically so as to enable them to live productive and fulfilling lives. The role of mathematics in society today is both fundamental and widespread. Mathematics is needed for the study of such diverse areas as sociology, psychology, political science, business, economics, physics, chemistry, biology, and linguistics. A degree in mathematics can lead to careers in teaching, business, a large variety of industries, and government service, as well as to graduate study in pure or applied mathematics. For students wishing only a cultural introduction to mathematics, a terminal course is offered which exposes the student to the fundamental concepts and beauty of the discipline.
