NATURAL SCIENCES & MATHEMATICS
The natural sciences examine the structure and components of the natural world and the universe. Courses in natural sciences and mathematics teach you how to use the tools of science to develop and test hypotheses and solve problems from a scientific or mathematical perspective. As a student of the sciences, you will learn about significant discoveries in the fields and their importance to current mathematical and scientific theories.

“From children we have a natural inquisitiveness about the world around us. Scientists study nature, from microbes, to the plants and animals around us, and beyond to other planets, stars, and galaxies. The sciences and mathematics can be applied to calculating risk for insurance companies, medical professions, or to a host of scientific, technical, and engineering fields.”
