Our individual lives and society in general are being increasingly affected by science and technology. Therefore, a significant goal during collegiate years should be to acquire a knowledge of the growing fields of science and mathematics, an appreciation of the methods by which such knowledge is obtained and classified, increased skills in problem solving related to scientific inquiry and a sense of moral responsibility and stewardship.

The Department of Natural Sciences offers majors in Biology (Environmental Science Track, General Biology Track, Life Science Teaching Track, and Pre-Professional Track), Biology Clinical Laboratory Science and Chemistry. Pre-professional (pre-medicine, pre-veterinary, pre- dental, etc.) programs are also offered. 

In conjunction with the School of Education, the Department of Natural Sciences offers majors and/or licensure programs in Integrated Science, Life Science, Life Science/Chemistry Education, and Physical Science. These areas of specialty prepare students for  secondary teaching licensure for grades 7-12.

Graduation Requirements Check-List
Note: Students pursuing any of the teaching areas (i.e., Integrated Science, Life Science, Life Science/Chemistry, Physical Science) must have a minimum 2.75 gpa in major course work and a minimum 2.75 gpa overall to be accepted into teacher education.
