Overall Goal of the Program:
In everyday life we experience natural phenomena that we try to understand and explain. To become a scientist is to become fluent in the language, methods and mathematics needed to explore these events. Through the study of biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics, you will begin the journey of discovery that leads to an increased understanding of nature and a more systematic view of the universe.
