Interdisciplinary Programs
How Science and Mathematics Interconnect
The molecular sciences focus on how life functions or doesn't function, as we believe it should, at the molecular level. You’ll enjoy an interdisciplinary approach and extensive collaboration from professors in:
• Biochemistry
• Chemistry
• Genetics
• Physics
The computational sciences focus on computer-based models and numerical analysis techniques to simulate, evaluate, and solve problems through the integration of large amounts of data. Read about alumnus, Richard Anderson of Symmetric Computing, who triple majored in the following subjects:
• Computer science
• Mathematics
• Physics
Environmental sciences represent the study of interaction among physical, chemical, and biological components of the environment. For example, environmentalists study and produce research on climate change, conservation, biodiversity, water quality, groundwater contamination, soil contamination, use of natural resources, and waste management. Courses include:
• Biology
• Molecular sciences
• Computational sciences
