The Schmid College of Science educates students who will become tomorrow's scientists or who aspire to careers in science, technology, and health care professions. The college offers traditional majors as well as undergraduate and graduate degree programs that emphasize the application of computational techniques to problems in the natural sciences, that approach health sciences through an interdisciplinary perspective, and that connect the abstract understanding of the environment to present day environmental concerns linked to the watershed, climate change, and natural and man-made disasters. Faculty in the Schmid College of Science have active research agendas through which they mentor students in the pursuit of their own research and scholarship. The faculty with community partners also provide students with internship opportunities which promote learning through real life experiences.
