The science program teaches the scientific method, the approaches the sciences take to inquiry, and the fundamental laws governing physical phenomena. The program includes introductory and advanced courses in biology, chemistry, and physics, as well as research opportunities for accomplished students.
The mathematics program develops students’ ability to apply mathematics as a scientific tool, and helps them appreciate mathematics as an art. A given course may emphasize only a part of the story (pure or applied, historical or modern, theoretical or computational), but taken in combination, the courses show what mathematics is, how it has developed, and what its application to real problems can accomplish.
Computer science is both an abstract and applied discipline that involves the study of algorithmic processes and methods for managing representational and algorithmic complexity.
