Word From The College of Arts and Sciences

“In my opinion, the sciences contain the most exciting and fulfilling careers available today. We explore the unknown on the earth where we live, the functioning ecosystems within it, and the impact of those systems on the essential functioning and healing of the human body. Majoring in the sciences provides access to stimulating learning and a solid foundation for medical, professional, or graduate school. Combining this knowledge with interactive laboratory experiences enables our students to be well prepared for research and technical positions in universities, government organizations, and other industries worldwide.”

Dr. Eric Steinkamp

Professor
