Scientific Inquiry
The world is so full of such marvelous things that humans are drawn to wonder at it and try to understand it. Science is one result of that wonder. The faculty of the Scientific Inquiry planning unit are members of the scientific community—men and women who have devoted their professional lives to personal journeys of discovery as they investigate the world and help their students learn about it. We are committed to the ideal of science education in the context of liberal arts education, and science and mathematics are essential components of the modern liberal arts curriculum. We will help students—whatever their primary interests may be—understand the wonders of nature and also understand science as a force in our technological society. Learn more...
