Natural Science Division

Natural Science Division Programs

The Division offers a wide variety of special programs for our students, some of which are detailed in this section (see sidebar). There are also many opportunities to work as laboratory assistants, tutors, and research assistants.

A unique aspect of the Natural Science Division is our proven experience and expertise at engaging students in undergraduate research. The best way to develop scientists and mathematicians is to have them engage in their respective disciplines as scholars. For this reason, engaging students in undergraduate research is central to the mission of the Natural Science Division. In the past year, over 50 students participated in undergraduate research mentored by Natural Science faculty.  In the past 18 months, 40 student scholars have authored scientific papers or given presentations at scientific conferences.
