Michael J. Auerbach, Dean
James P. Deavor, Associate Dean
The role of the School of Sciences and Mathematics is two-fold: to provide the study of the natural world for a liberal arts education to all students in the College and to equip majors in the sciences and mathematics to enter careers, graduate schools, or professional schools. Students are afforded opportunities for significant involvement in learning in the classroom as well as individual attention by faculty in research in their academic areas. Students in all disciplines learn not only the facts, methods and boundaries of mathematics and science, but learn to question and to think analytically.
Students are encouraged to take advantage of opportunities for research and independent study with faculty to develop creativity and an understanding of scientific inquiry. Activities that offer close interactions with faculty increase student satisfaction with their college experience. Students considering a career in science should take mathematics and at least one science course during their first semester.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to integrate discovery, innovation, and education in order to serve our students, our state and our nation.
Vision
Our vision is to be a community of scholar-teachers committed to creating an environment of distinctiveness and excellence that supports and nurtures students as scholars and encourages learning through inquiry, all within the framework of a broad liberal arts and sciences education.
